Instructions

Muffin Batter

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ degrees.  Line the cupcake pan(s) with liners, set aside. 
  • Combine the softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand.  Cream until smooth. 
  • Add in the eggs and mix on medium speed to incorporate. Then add the molasses and mix on medium speed to thoroughly combine - stopping the mixer to scrape the sides and mix again. 
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt In a separate bowl,  whisk to combine.
  • Add about half of the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl with the molasses mixture and mix on medium speed. Add in the remaining flour and mix well again.  
  • Mix in the water slowly on medium-low speed, ensuring that it combines well before adding more. Continue adding water until all of it is incorporated and the mixture becomes smooth. Scrape the bowl as needed.
  • Fill each cupcake liner until about ⅔ -¾ full.  Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes or until the cupcakes are done in the center and the edges are slightly browned.  Allow to cool.
