Can you think of a more festive and tasty way to welcome December than with soft and fluffy gingerbread cupcakes? These are outrageously moist and tender cupcakes packed full of seasonal spices and flavor. We’ll be topping them with a brown sugar and cinnamon spiced variation of my cream cheese frosting, and it complements the cozy, classic gingerbread flavor so well!

If this gingerbread cupcake recipe looks a bit familiar that’s because this is actually an update of an older recipe. While the original was one I was proud of, over the years I felt I could improve upon it. Some people struggled with cupcakes that dipped in on themselves as they cooled, so I wanted a slightly sturdier cupcake that would yield a domed top and could hold its own under a mountain of frosting. ✅✅
