I am wanting to use the Heavenly pumkin spice cake recipie on this site but make it into cupcakes instead. Does anyone know if it works well as a cupcake?

The recipe also calls for white flour. Is this the same as all purpose?

It also calls for canned pumpkin - at the store there is pumpkin filling and a can that just says pumpkin - does it make a difference?

Thank you icon_smile.gif

I have not made that particular recipe, but my experience has been that most recipes work equally well for cakes and cupcakes. Just watch the baking time, cuppies usually only take 15-20 minutes.

Unless otherwise specified, use all-purpose flour (NOT self-rising).

Yes! If it calls for canned pumpkin, then get just that, canned pumpkin. The pumpkin filling is pumpkin pie filling ready to go straight into a pie crust. If you read the ingredients, you will see that the pumpkin pie filling contains other ingredients, such as spices, egg, and milk.
