    Mini Gingerbread Cakes

    I'm a huge gingerbread fan and these cakes are the fluffy alternative to the gingerbread cookies we all love during the holidays. They scream Christmas with every bite!

    Here's how I made them.

    Ingredients:

    Frosting

    • 1Cup Powdered Sugar
    • 2 Tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt
    • ½ Teaspoon Vanilla
    • ¼ Teaspoon Cinnamon

    Cake

    • 1 Cup Vegetable Oil
    • 1 Cup Sugar
    • I Cup Molasses (Unsulphured)
    • 1 Tablespoon Minced Crystalized Ginger
    • 2 Tablespoons Minced Ginger
    • 2 Eggs
    • 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
    • ¼ Teaspoon Ground Cloves
    • 1 Cup Water
    • 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Generously spray your muffin or mini bunt cake pan. Note, even if it's a non-stick, I recommend still spraying the pan.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, molasses, crystalized ginger, ginger, and eggs.

    In another bowl, whisk together flour and cloves.

    Add sugar, and oil mixture into the flour mixture.

    In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from heat and mix in the baking soda. Add the water baking soda liquid to the batter and whisk until fully combined. Transfer the batter to the pan and into the oven. Bake for approximately 45 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the cakes and if comes out clean, they are done.
