Pre-heat oven to 350. Prep your cupcake pan with papers.
Using a hand mixer, mix the cake mix as per directions, substituting pumpkin for the water. (Usually 1 1/3 cups pumpkin, instead of 1 1/3 cups water.)
Next, use the hand mixer to mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar.
Spoon about a tablespoon of cake batter into each cup. Then, drop a little teaspoon sized plop of cream cheese mix into the middle of each cup. Then, spoon enough batter into each up to cover the cream cheese mix.
Bake according to directions on cake mix box.
Allow the cupcakes to cool before frosting with cream cheese frosting!
And, that's IT! So easy, and too yummy. Pretty sure I ate 3 yesterday...
