1/2 C. vegetable oil
1/2 C. water
3 large eggs
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1 can sweetened condensed milk
8 oz. cream cheese
4 oz. butter
2 T. egg nog
1 or 2 T. rum
1/8 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/3 C. chopped craisins
For the cupcakes, preheat oven to 350o.
Mix cake mix, pumpkin, vegetable oil, water, eggs, cinnamon and
ginger.
Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Batter should look thick and well
blended. Spoon into cupcake pans lined with paper liners two-thirds
full.
Bake 25 minutes until the cake springs back when touched. Cool on
racks. For filling, place unopened can of sweetened condensed milk
in crock pot and cover with water and lid. Cook on high 8 hours.
Make sure can is cool to touch before opening it.
For the frosting, place cream cheese and butter in mixing bowl and
beat 30 seconds until fluffy.
Add cloves, nutmeg and egg nog. Add sugar on low 30 seconds until
combined, then beat on medium until fluffy, 1 minute more. Add rum
until spreadable. Mix the chopped craisins into frosting. Cut a
cone out of cupcake as though cutting a lid out of a pumpkin for a
jack-o’-lantern. Put filling in hole, then replace the lid and
frost.
