Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth and creamy.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost them with the cream cheese frosting. Enjoy!
