These are very very good cupcakes/muffins. I life in Colorado, so after making the necessary High Altitude adjustments they were amazing. I agree that the dark chocolate cocoa is the key here, and really makes the difference between a good cupcake and a great one! I just this recipe over and over again, thanks for posting!

I made this recipe for a potluck at work, and have received numerous compliments (and complaints from my husband, who wishes I had left more at home for him!). I also used the Special Dark cocoa, and was happy to have done so.

I made some slight alterations to the frosting (so only had enough for just over 2 dozen; left the “dry” ones at home); I halved the butter, and only used about 2 cups of powdered sugar. I really like my cream cheese frosting to taste cream cheese-y (and less sweet), so this worked well for me.

If you love pumpkin, than this recipe is a must for your recipe box! I saw this recipe on Monday and made them Monday night! I took them to work on Tuesday and every single person absolutely loved them! Since they make over 30 muffins I was able to take them to work to share and serve them at a small party. This is a fantastic fall recipe!

I was just going to make some chocolate chocolate-chip cupcakes today and I was going to put pumpkin creamcheese icing on them. Glad to see that someone else thinks the combo would work! Can’t wait to try them.

Looks great. I just had a pumpkin whoopie pie at the Corner Bakery in Chicago, which was muffin tops and pumpkin frosting in the middle. I bet this recipe could be modified to make those.

i bet a can of pumpkin would be good incorperated in the frosting

I was intrigued, but confused by this recipe. A carton of baking powder? How is that possible? Also, where is the pumpkin? The original blog on this recipe has the correct ingredients.

Does it really use a carton of baking soda?

I too was intrigued by pumpkin and chocolate…will have to try these out and see about the pumpkin taste in the frosting…they sound utterly delicious.
