- These moist and fluffy gingerbread cupcakes are carefully designed to have beautiful domed tops. My recipe is quick (less than an hour) and includes a cinnamon and brown sugar frosting.

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
For Cupcakes
00:35 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners.
00:38 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves).
01:38 Add melted butter and oil and stir well. Batter may be a bit dry, but make sure all of the flour is moistened.
02:29 Add molasses and stir well.
03:05 Stir in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
03:34 Add hot water and stir again until batter is completely combined, then stir in sour cream until batter is uniform (make sure to scrape sides and bottom of the bowl).
04:23 Divide batter evenly into prepared cupcake pan (filling liners approximately ¾ full) and bake in center rack of 350F (175C) oven for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Allow cupcakes to cool in pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack and allowing to cool completely before frosting.
For Frosting
05:25 In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, brown sugar, vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract) and salt. Use an electric mixer to stir together until smooth, creamy, and well-combined.
06:18 With mixer on low-speed, gradually add powdered sugar until completely incorporated and frosting is smooth and creamy.
06:54 Spread or pipe over cooled cupcakes. I like to use an Ateco 848 or Ateco 846 tip. This frosting makes enough to generously cover each cupcake (as shown in the photos).
Notes
Frosting
This recipe makes a generous amount of frosting. It will cover all of your cupcakes generously (as shown in photos) or will modestly cover 24 cupcakes. If you want only a modest amount of frosting, feel free to cut the frosting in half (or double the cupcake recipe!).
Storing
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 48 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Using this recipe for cake
I recommend using my gingerbread cake recipe instead, it is closely related to this one, but designed to be a perfect cake.
Original Recipe
I originally published this recipe in 2016. In 2022, I’ve improved the recipe to be a bit sturdier, softer, and slightly more domed (since some people with the original recipe had mentioned problems with the cupcakes sinking in on themselves). If you’re looking for the original recipe, you can find it here (sugarspunrun.com/wp-content/u...) but note that I am no longer accepting comments on the original recipe.

If anything ever happens to Sam, that mixer is going to be the prime suspect 😂
Could you explain the mixer joke please? I've seen it in many of her videos.
I have a request. Can you make one video of bloopers compilation? That would be epic. Thank you, Sam.
Great teaching style of the saying the spices helps keep track of baking!
They're great either way 😊
Oh, delicious.... I'm Brazilian, and here this cupcake ain't a Christmas tradition. But you did me want to eat it... Thank you!
You’re welcome! Enjoy!
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you too...

Hopefully I’ll make this just before Christmas so I can share it with my family.
I hope everyone loves them! :)
Just had a late night baking session and followed your recipe! These came out AMAZING and my roommates are trying the steal the ones I made for my workplace!
I'm so glad everyone enjoyed them much! :)
Very very gooooood Sam thank you so much God bless
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. Not only looks delicious, but all your points and choices of ingredients make it look possible for a beginner baker to try. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
Thank you so much. I hope you love them 😊
My mouth is watering 💧 , will be making these soon.
Hope you love them!
Yummy 😋. I need to try these.
They're so good 🤩

I love all of your recipes!! I will be making these this weekend for my family😍♥
I hope everyone loves them!
@@SugarSpunRun I made the cupcakes and they were amazing!! The frosting was so delicious! We all loved them ☺
Thank you for the ricepe excellent BRAVO from paris 🥰
Enjoy!
I made these for my Christmas Gifts last year! I trebled the recipe (which is never a great start for a review, but hear me out!)... And somehow ended up accidentally making 62 cupcakes? So I guess cupcakes are smaller in New Zealand than they are in America? I'm fairly adept at baking, so was able to adjust the cooking times. ☺ The flavour is absolutely top notch! Even the ones I accidentally overbaked were super-moist.
I doubled the frosting recipe, and had the perfect for a single "rose style" pipe on each of my 62 cupcakes.
You're really pretty
Ooh, make a gingerbread house cake!
I just wanted to leave a comment, letting you know that I made these for the Christmas Eve dinner... and they were a huge hit. Sooo tasty ❤️
Glad you liked them!
Love the gingerbread cupcakes idea and those look so good! I'll have to try these. I wanted to ask you if you have a home-made pie crust recipe?
I hope you love the cupcakes! I do have a homemade pie crust! :) ua-cam.com/video/rxRJrqFZHdk/v-deo.html
I have made so many of your recipes and they turn out absolutely wonderful. After I make them I share your video with my mom so she can also enjoy. Thank you so very much. With the Christmas season coming up I know you have made (what my family calls) Christmas Crack... the chocolaty cracker goodness lol. Do you happen to have a recipe for making your own crackers? Thank you for helping us all so much in our kitchens and putting smiles on our families with good food. :-) have a wonderful day.
I’m so glad you enjoy everything so much! I have not made my own saltine cracker video yet, (I do have a cheese cracker) but I can add it to my list. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun thank you so very much. Have a wonderful day :-)
I guess it will come as no surprise that I have been thinking of you today. Watching this I am wondering how I missed those colorful eggs in the past! Are those your own? They sure are beautiful.
I have a question for you. I noticed today that my cookie sheets seem to scratch very easily. The backs of them are scraped severely just from going in and out of the oven, and they don't get anywhere near the usage that yours get.
Another great video, but no surprise there. I've got a lot of snickerdoodles to eat, who knows what I will make after they are gone. Keep up the good work.
I made this today, but I forget to put hot water but still taste Amazing❤🥲
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! :)
Oh and a side note, today I DIDN'T use my hand mixer and went with the stand mixer and it worked awesome. ;-) It did me well making bread yesterday too. OH and I just bought a food grinder attachment, now to figure out why. LOL
Also making Gingerbread bath bombs with frosting..I should put a DO NOT EAT ON THEM😉
Do you have a link for the small bowls that you used for spices, salt and baking powder
Very nice recipie Sam! They looks amazing! I can funt easy sour cream! Can i use yogurt? Have a nice day and good month! Have a good weekend and good week! 👍👏🎄☃️❄️
Full-fat greek yogurt will work 😊
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks Sam! 🙂🙂🙂
I love this recipe look so delicius. Can i subtitute te molasses with honey?
Molasses is critical for the right flavor here, so I don't recommend it 🙁
Can not wait to try.
How long can the cream cheese frosting be at room temp?
Can u make the frosting in advance?
I typically leave it out for about two days, but you can do whatever you're comfortable with. Yes you can!
@@SugarSpunRun oh wow. That's go to know that way I can make the day before leave out and then I wouldn't have to re-whip
What can you substitute allspice with ? I don’t have it and would love to try this recipe today? Thanks
I don't have a good substitute, so you could just leave it out.
Okay thanks so much!
I was wondering if you could make cakes using this recipe?
I think it could be possible but for a gingerbread cake I like to use my gingerbread layer cake. 😊 sugarspunrun.com/gingerbread-layer-cake/#recipe-video
Hi Sam, we don't really have molasses in Aust, can I use treacle?
I haven’t ever tried it but I do believe treacle works as a substitute for molasses. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun 😊 thanks
Excellent recipe mam 👌👍👏💐🤝🤝🔔subscribed
Welcome to the channel! 🎉
What if I can’t find ground cloves? Can I sub for more allspice?
CLOUD I SPEAD WITH THE SPOON IF I DO NOT HAVING A PIPING BAG
Sure thing!
Is the stand mixer just for decoration? Do you ever use it? 🤣
Ok I have to ask cause it's driving me nuts lol. Why does the music play and the video freeze up when you use the hand mixer? Anyone?
You mean the sad music because she neglects her expensive kitchen aid mixer? It’s her cute little acknowledgment to the mixer
@@LCLand Oh ok got it LOL. Thanks
YOU DO NOT BURN YOURSELF OR SPARY ON THE WALLS WE DO NOT WANT THAT
DO YOU NOT WANT THAT SPARYING IN YOUR FACE
IS IT NOT FUNNY SPARYING HOT WATER ALL OVER THE WALLS
