Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In one bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, beat vegetable oil, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and milk until smooth.
Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients until just mixed; gently fold in mini chocolate chips.
Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full with batter and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
For frosting: Beat unsalted butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder while mixing in whipping cream until desired consistency is reached. Frost cooled cupcakes and decorate with mini chocolate chips.
