Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons baking soda
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 cup unsulphured molasses
2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1 recipe Butter Glaze for Gingerbread Cupcakes
1 recipe Chocolate Glaze for Gingerbread Cupcakes
1 recipe Meringue Buttercream for Gingerbread Cupcakes

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 10 jumbo muffin tins with paper baking cups, and set aside. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. In a bowl, combine boiling water and baking soda; set aside. In a large bowl, sift together flour, ground spices, salt, and baking powder; set aside.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until light. Beat in the brown sugar until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the molasses, baking-soda mixture, and flour mixture. Beat in the eggs.
  • Fill the cupcake papers three-quarters full, making sure that the batter is divided evenly. Bake cupcakes until a toothpick inserted in the center of them comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cupcakes cool a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.

Overall, these cupcakes were pretty good. I liked the gingerbread flavor and the cream cheese frosting was a nice touch. However, I thought they were a little too sweet for my taste.

These cupcakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These cupcakes were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't great either. I probably won't make them again.

These cupcakes were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best gingerbread cupcakes he's ever had.
