Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup egg whites (for meringue)
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for meringue)
  • Chocolate chips (for eyes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the meringue by beating the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  8. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  9. Pipe the meringue onto the cooled cupcakes to create ghost shapes.
  10. Use chocolate chips to create eyes on the meringue ghosts.

Notes

  • Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature for better volume.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • For a spookier effect, add food coloring to the meringue.
