1-Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.

2-Beat the butter and sugar: Beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until creamy, then add the egg and mix until combined.

3-Add liquids: Add the milk, molasses, and vanilla extract, mixing at medium speed; the mixture may remain slightly lumpy.

4-Whisk dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.

5-Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

6-Fill and bake: Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full, then bake for 19-21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

7-Cool and frost: Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting with cream cheese frosting. Check out our cinnamon bread recipe for more baking inspiration.
