Gingerbread Cupcakes

This is a recipe for gingerbread cupcakes. The recipe is from King Arthur Flour.


Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda

My frosting was too runny because I added too much milk.
They aren't very beautiful, but they are tasty!

2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 egg
1/2 cup water

Instructions

 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine the flour, baking soda, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Mix together. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, molasses, and egg. Add half the water and half the dry ingredients. Mix well. Add the other half of the water and the other half of the dry mix. Mix well.  There you have the batter.

Serves 12 regular cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes.

 For the frosting, just take the cream cheese frosting recipe and add two teaspoons of cinnamon.
