Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 175°C/350°F. Prepare a muffin tin or a baking tray with 15-20 paper cups.
  2. Mix butter, sugar and rum in a mixer on medium speed.
  3. Crush the pecans into little pieces.
  4. In a bowl, whisk eggs and add yoghurt.
  5. In another bowl, combine flour with the other dry ingredients (cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom).
  6. In another bowl, combine grated pumpkin with ginger.
  7. When the butter mixture is creamy, add half the egg mixture to it. When the egg mixture is incorporated into the butter mixture add half the flour. Once the flour is incorporated into the batter add the other half of the egg mixture and the other half of the flour in the same way.
  8. Next, add the pumpkin to the batter. Mix for another half minute and fill the paper cups with the batter.
  9. Place a few of the crushed pecans on top of each cupcake, pushing it very lightly into the batter.
  10. Bake the cupcakes in the centre of the oven for about 25-30 minutes until they firm up. The cupcakes are ready when a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let them cool for a while and put them on a wire rack.
Topping
  1. Mix the cinnamon, ginger and lemon with the buttercream.
  2. Finish the cupcakes with a topping of cinnamon and ginger buttercream and a whole pecan on top.
