Cupcakes for all this holiday season

There’s so much versatility when it comes to cupcakes and this is true for our cranberry gingerbread cupcakes. They are super easy to make and you don’t have to worry well-nigh trying to do a talc stratify and frosting one big surface (something I’m still trying to nail down). We love making cupcake towers in place of cakes for celebrations. You don’t have to spend time wearing the confection and distributing it to your guests. We’ve washed-up these for my husband and son’s birthday. The weightier part is watching everyone be worldly-wise to eat the same thing despite allergies and enjoy it in the process.

We are big fans of gingerbread AND cranberry sauce. We had so much cranberry sauce left over from Thanksgiving that we wanted to do increasingly than just spoon it onto our dishes. If you’re looking for increasingly ideas on what to do with your uneaten cranberry sauce or you just want to make these considering you’re a fan of these flavors, squint no further. Check out the unelevated recipes! We’ve moreover made a cranberry simple syrup for this cranberry thyme Moscow mule too.

Need an excuse to make increasingly cranberry sauce?

This quick recipe will have you sneaking bites of gingerbread confection and licking cranberry sauce frosting any endangerment you can get. If you make a double-batch of these, you can make cupcakes with the first dozen and our cranberry gingerbread confection balls too.

1. Preheat oven to 350℉/177℃ and gather ingredients. For the cake, start by vibration the butter, olive oil, and brown sugar in a trencher with a standing mixer or large trencher and handheld mixer on low until just incorporated. Add one egg first, beat, and then add the next. Write-up until incorporated. Add the vanilla pericope and write-up until incorporated. Set aside.
   
   
2. In a separate bowl, sift our tiger nut all-purpose flour or (if you don’t have to worry well-nigh gluten/grain allergies) all-purpose flour with the corn starch. By combining these two, we are making a confection flour! Confection flour contributes to the fluffy texture we often want in cakes. Sifting the flour helps reduce lumps and largest distribute the corn starch. Add the sultry powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and clove.
3. Time to combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients but read this first! We are going to unorganized between subtracting the flour mixture and buttermilk a little at a time to the wet ingredients and then mix with a spatula. Do not use the standing mixer or handheld mixer! By doing it this way, you can stave over-mixing, which can rationalization a dumbo cake. If you need to make buttermilk, you can add 1 TBSP lemon juice to 1 Cup whole milk and let it sit for 10 minutes.
   
   
4. Pour thrash into a cupcake liners and torch for 18 minutes. Use a toothpick to insert in the part-way and remove. If the thrash is still runny, torch for two increasingly minutes. Allow the cupcakes to tomfool completely once done.
   
   
5. There are a few options you can segregate from when it comes to frosting or filling:
   
   1) You can insert a paring pocketknife well-nigh ¾ths deep from the top to cut out the cadre of the cupcake and create a well for the filling. Spoon well-nigh ½ TBSP of cranberry sauce into the cupcake. You can pipe buttercream frosting on top. TIP: If you need to create stiffer buttercream peaks, you can add ¼ cup powdered sugar and frosting into a standing mixer trencher and mix until you see it hold increasingly shape (but not too stiff or it will harden and dry).
   
   
   
   
   2) OR you can spoon well-nigh 1/2 of the tub of frosting into a standing mixer. Add ¼ cup of powdered sugar. Mix until just incorporated. From here, you can either spoon this into a piping bag. Pipe virtually the edges of the cupcake and spoon cranberry sauce into the center.
   
   
   3) OR you can add the cranberry sauce into the standing mixer trencher that has the frosting. You can take a fork and swirl the sauce virtually until you have a marbled look.
