Gingerbread Cupcakes

Tigerlily
"These fast and easy cupcakes are great with ginger frosting or a can of buttercream, and are very easy to decorate. If you're an entertainer, these cupcakes are great for special occasions, and can be adorned with candy and other treats to match a holiday. I used these cupcakes for Christmas and they were delicious!!! Try them with a warm cup of milk or some coffee. Anything you can make with gingerbread is better with gingerbread cupcakes."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper muffin liners.
- Mix the cake mix, buttermilk, molasses, vegetable oil, eggs, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in large bowl until just combined. Spoon the batter into a large resealable plastic bag, press out excess air, and seal the top of the bag. Snip a corner of the bag about 1/4-inch from the bottom. Pipe the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

These were pretty good. I do wish they had more bite to them. If I make these again I will add some cloves and some fresh grated ginger to them. I topped them with lemon curd and fresh whippe...

These were delicious! I added 1/8 teaspoon of cloves and it made them much better! The top has a slight crisp and the center is moist and airy. Instead of buttermilk, I did the required amount o...
