Ingredients

  • Plain flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • Unsalted butter: Softened to room temperature
  • Vegetable Oil: I used Sunflower oil but you can substitute it with any neutral oil. A little bit of oil keeps these cupcakes soft and moist even if you keep them in the fridge.
  • Baking Powder & Baking Soda
  • Eggs: should be at room temperature.
  • Salt: It balances the sweetness and enhances the flavours.
  • Light brown sugar: Makes these cupcakes soft. Don’t replace it with white sugar but you can substitute it with dark brown sugar. The dark brown sugar will make them slightly darker.
  • Treacle or Molasses: It gives a deep rich caramelised flavour.
  • Honey: Gives softness to these cupcakes.
  • Mix ground Spices: Blend of different ground spices like; ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove for a warm flavour.
  • Gingerbread Cookies: to decorate on top. This is optional. You can get store-bought or make at home. For recipe see this blog post.
  • Unsalted butter: Softened
  • Icing sugar/powdered sugar: Sifted
  • A pinch of salt
  • Vanilla extract
  • Double cream/heavy cream
