Ingredients

Scale

For the cupcakes:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk

For the cream cheese frosting:

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices).
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add molasses and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fluffy.
  • Frost cooled cupcakes as desired.

Notes

  • Make sure the cupcakes are fully cooled before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • You can sprinkle cinnamon or ginger on top for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.
