Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk
- 1 batch Cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional: ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with cream cheese frosting using a spatula or piping bag.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top of each cupcake as a garnish before serving.
