Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 ½ cups gluten free flour (280 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice if you have it
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 4 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 15 ounces pure pumpkin puree

Frosting

  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions
 

Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, and eggs. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Whisk in pumpkin purée.
  • Divide batter evenly among liners, filling each about halfway. Bake until tops spring back when touched, and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating pans once if needed. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool.

Frosting

  • Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream and salt just to a boil. Immediately pour over the chocolate. Using a whisk, stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Let cool to room temperature and frost cupcakes.
