Instructions
For the Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12-count cupcake tin with paper liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the spice cake mix, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, oil, water, molasses, and eggs.
- Divide the batter between the cupcake tin wells, filling each one ¾ of the way full.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the pan and allow them to cool on a wire rack before frosting.
For the Spiced White Chocolate Buttercream
- Add the softened butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar. Mix until the powdered sugar has been incorporated.
- Add the white chocolate, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Turn the mixer to medium speed and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with your choice of tip.
- Frost as desired and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store gingerbread cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
