Notes
- Add some chocolate chips for a ginger and chocolate combination.
- To ensure that your cakes are cooked all the way through and don't burn either, use an oven thermometer to make sure it gets to the correct temperature for the recipe.
- Don't over-mix your batter, as this can cause the cakes not to rise.
- This recipe is for just the cupcakes. Feel free to top it with your favourite frosting like chocolate buttercream or cream cheese frosting. To keep with the ginger theme, use ginger icing.
- For some extra cute decoration, add a mini gingerbread man.
