INSTRUCTIONS
MAKING THE GINGERBREAD CUPCAKES
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Then fill a muffin tin with cupcake liners - you'll need 18 total muffin liners.
Then, measure the flour, brown sugar, ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a medium mixing bowl. Stir using a wire whisk until ingredients are sifted and well combined. Set aside.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Then, add the molasses, oil, and milk. Whisk again until ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or a spatula until just incorporated.
After that, divide the cupcake batter between 18 lined muffin cups (about 3/4 of the way full).
Transfer the muffin tins to the preheated oven and also bake at 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through if needed.
To test cupcake doneness, insert a toothpick in the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are done. If they aren't done yet, continue baking in 2 minute increments.
When done baking, carefully transfer the cupcake pans to a wire rack. Cool for 10 minutes. Then, remove the cupcakes from the pan and place them back on the rack, cooling completely.
MAKING THE WHIPPED CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
To make the frosting, add the softened cream cheese and butter along with the vanilla extract to a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
Then, slowly add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Continue stirring after each addition until all the ingredients are incorporated. The frosting is light and fluffy and the consistency you want.
Finally, add the frosting to a piping bag with desired tip for decorating and pipe onto the cooled cupcakes.
