Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Are you looking for a gingerbread cupcake recipe? There is something special about the aroma of freshly baked gingerbread, particularly when it comes to gingerbread cupcakes. Gingerbread signifies warmth, coziness, and all the special moments that come with the holiday season. For me, the taste of gingerbread is a reminder of Christmas with my family and the cherished time I spent with my grandmother. I can still recall her making her signature gingerbread loaf while my sister and I eagerly awaited that first bite at the 60's era kitchen table. She was my Babushka, and she was an expert at making gingerbread loaf. With her in mind, I present these Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting.

Directions for Cinnamon Buttercream Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the shortening and butter.  Cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Sift in ⅓ of the powdered sugar and cinnamon. It is important to sift to ensure a smooth and silky buttercream.
  3. Add 1 Tablespoon milk and beat on medium speed until well incorporated.  Repeat this step 2 more times.
  4. Beat for an additional 2 minutes until buttercream is light and fluffy.
  5. Add frosting to a pastry bag with a decorating tip (or use the Ziploc bag method). I used a Wilton 1M Swirl tip.
  6. Frost cupcakes.
  7. To garnish, sift cinnamon lightly on top and sprinkle Hershey’s cinnamon baking chips on top.
