How to make ginger cupcakes in 6 easy steps.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. Prepare a 12-hole muffin tray and line with 8 Waitrose Cooks’ Homebaking Tulip Wrap muffin cases.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the treacle, followed by the egg and egg yolk, and beat the mixture until well combined.
3. Sift the flour with the spices, add to the mixture and continue to beat until smooth. Mix the hot milk with the baking powder, add to the mixture and beat until combined.
4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cases and place in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the cupcakes are springy to touch. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before icing.
5. For the icing: beat together the butter, soft cheese, cinnamon and icing sugar. Add the milk and beat until light and fluffy. Spoon this icing into a Waitrose Cooks’ Homebaking Piping Bag, cut off the end so you have a wide nozzle and use to pipe the cooled cakes.
6. Top with a gingerbread man and serve with a dusting of cinnamon.

What Is The Secret To Fluffy Cupcakes?

The mixing procedure is key to creating fluffy cupcakes. Under-mixing the batter might result in unevenly baked cupcakes that are crumbly or have air pockets, while over-mixing the batter can make the cupcakes dense and dry.

Before mixing, make sure that all of the ingredients, including the milk, butter, and eggs, are at room temperature. This will help the ingredients to combine more easily and make a smoother batter.

Don’t overmix the batter; rather blend the ingredients barely. Overmixing can lead to excessive gluten development in the flour, producing dense cupcakes.

Ensure sure the batter has the appropriate amount of baking powder or baking soda. These leavening ingredients will aid in the rise and fluffiness of the cupcakes.

Preheat your oven to the correct temperature, and don’t open the oven door too often while the cupcakes are baking. This will ensure that the cupcakes bake evenly and rise properly.

After baking, let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating them. This will help to prevent the cupcakes from sinking in the middle or becoming too dense.
