Step-by-step method

At a glance

You'll be making homemade pumpkin purée from roasted pumpkin (the time-consuming part), then combining it with spiced batter to bake fluffy cupcakes. The real magic happens with the frosting—you're whipping cream with mascarpone and a hint of orange coloring, then piping it on top.

  1. 1/9

    Pumpkin purée

    Cut the pumpkin into wedges, scoop out the seeds and soft flesh, then roast it. There's no need to season it — just bake until soft, then once cooled, scoop out the flesh and blend until smooth.

About this recipe

Autumn means pumpkin season. It's such a versatile ingredient, equally good in sweet or savoury dishes. Make plenty of pumpkin purée, because it comes in handy in so many ways. I roasted a few pumpkins, blended the purée and froze it for later in the winter. Hooray for that!
