Preheat your oven to 350 deg F and line a Cupcake pan with 12 paper liners. Set aside.
Whisk together egg, pumpkin puree, oil, vanilla and both the sugars in a medium bowl. Combine them all really well.
Sift all the dry ingredients-flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices over wet ingredients and gently fold to combine with a spatula. Do not over-mix.
Pour batter in the pre-prepared liners and bake for about 20-22 minutes. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

Spices:
I like a lot of spices in my pumpkin cupcakes, you may adjust the spices to suit your taste.
How to store Pumpkin Cupcakes:
- Frosted cupcakes stay good for up to 1 hour at room temperature. For a longer storage, keep them in refrigerator. They will last for 3-4 days there.
- Unfrosted cupcakes freeze well for 2 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator or on the counter before frosting.
