| Buttermilk spice cupcakes
Made them today.They were great tasting,very moist,and not too heavy on fat.Used my favorite caramel frosting with them,the recipe for which i've posted before.over all they were yummy.
The recipe follows.
2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspon ground cardamom
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
Sift together the flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon,cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Cream butter in a mixing bowl; add brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat at high speed of an electric mixer for 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Scrape bowl often. Add sifted dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, mixing at lowest speed just until smooth.
Pour batter into greased and floured muffin tins(or use cupcake liners).Or if you want to make it into a layer cake,use 2, 8 inch round,greased and floured cake pans. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes(30 minutes for layers), or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on rack for 5 minutes, turn out of pans onto racks to cool completely.
Enjoy!!!
