Adapted from King Arthur Flour
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a muffin tin or use cupcake liners. Beat together the oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, spices, salt, and baking powder till smooth. Add the flour, stirring just until smooth. Fill each well with 1/4 cup of batter. Bake for approximately 15-17 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean with a crumb or two attached. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the icing (If the butter and cream cheese are cold, warm them very briefly in the microwave, just till they feel soft but haven't begun to melt). Also, note - the cream cheese recipe above makes more than I feel is needed for the amount of muffins. I always cut the recipe in half. Beat together the cream cheese, butter, sugar, and vanilla till smooth. Spread the soft frosting atop the completely cooled cupcakes Sprinkle with the crystallized ginger. You'll only need a partial can of pumpkin puree for this recipe.
