Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- 5 egg whites room temperature
- ¾ cup buttermilk divided
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- 2 ½ cups cake flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
For the frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup cinnamon chips
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the egg whites with 1/4 cup buttermilk. Whisk together and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in dry ingredients and beat until combined. Slowly add in egg mixture. Beat in remaining buttermilk and continue beating for 2 minutes, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed.
- Line a cupcake tin with paper lines. Fill 2/3 full with batter and bake in a 350 degree F oven for 16-18 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in tin, and remove and cool completely on wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat butter for about 3 minutes, until pale yellow. Add in sugar, cinnamon and milk and beat an additional 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Spread frosting on cooled cupcakes (or use a decorating bag with tip and pipe onto cupcakes). Add cinnamon chips immediately. ENJOY.
Notes
- If you don't have cake flour, you can make an easy substitute with all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Replace every cup of cake flour in the recipe with 3/4 of a cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of cornstarch.
- Do not over fill your cupcake tins! We recommend filling each liner about 2/3 of the way full with batter. Otherwise your cinnamon spice cupcakes will have domed tops like a muffin that aren't well suited to support frosting.
- Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature. They're best enjoyed within 3 days of baking.
- Frosting. Swap out the cinnamon buttercream for our light sour cream frosting instead! Adds a delicious tang. Or give our perfect cream cheese frosting recipe a try instead.
