Dog-Gone-Good Cup Cakes/Pumpkin Roll

This is my mom Bonnie's recipe that she got from the back of a Libby's Pumpkin wrapper and its true of how they got there name. She left to pick my sister and I up from school and when we got back home the dog had ate them all and my mother was mad; so we named them Dog-gone Good Cupcakes.

Bonnie’s note: I use this recipe for “Dog-gone Good Cupcakes” Put them in mini-muffin cups and use same frosting. (Got their name because had them cooling on the cutting board and went outside. Come back in and the dog was licking his lips. Ate the papers and all, ‘Dog-gone Good’

Immediately loosen and turn cake onto prepared towel. Carefully peel off paper. Roll up cake and towel together, starting with narrow end. Cool on wire rack.
