LOVE the cream cheese frosting on these. The orange zest really gives it such a lovely finish.

I made these and topped them with a white depression era (not as sweet as buttercream) and they were incredible!!! Many friends told me these were the best cupcakes they had EVER had. I didn't have the spices listed so I substituted 2 tsp cinnamon and they still came out wonderful! Definitely a keeper!!!

Omg so good only change I made was a little less oil and more pumpkin. Made 2 batches they were so easy to make, everyone loved him :) they don't last long. This was my first pumpkin cake it almost tastes like Carrot Cake a savory cake...SO GOOD will make again and again.

This is a great recipe! I have to admit...I was out of cream cheese, so I didn't make the frosting that the recipe calls for. I didn't make any other changes, though. I only got about 26 cupcakes out of this amount of batter, not the 32 that the recipe claims. The cakes baked up beautifully and tasted perfect; tender, moist, and sweet, with a very balanced pumpkin spice flavor. Instead of the cream cheese frosting, first, I made a sour cream frosting from this site that totally flopped. Then I went with a tried and true family recipe for French Cream frosting (in my personal recipes!) and it went very nicely with the cake! I topped each cupcake with a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice as a final touch. They were fabulous! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I tried this at 5280 feet (Denver) and the ratio of baking powder and soda doesn't work. I'll fiddle with it, though, because the rest of the recipe looks divine.
