Instructions:

Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin

Mix the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl with a whisk

Put away

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one

Add the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree from a can and mix well

Slowly add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, starting with the dry ingredients and ending with the buttermilk

Don't mix any further than that

Fill each cupcake liner about two thirds of the way to the top with batter

In a hot oven, bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes in the pan, then move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

Melt the cream cheese and butter together

Then, beat them together until the frosting is smooth and creamy

Then, add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar and beat until everything is well mixed and fluffy

Use a piping bag or a spatula to frost the cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting once they are completely cool

If you want to add more flavor and look nice, you can sprinkle some ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice on top
