These cupcakes baked up beautifully, light and fluffy and the perfect height. I felt like the flavor was slightly lacking- I think they need salt & maybe a little more cinnamon or possibly some ginger. Definitely a keeper!

Absolutely gorgeous… I baked this recipe as a cake and not cupcakes, the baking times takes a bit longer but it is totally worth it….
I did the classic cream cheese frosting and it goes great.
The cake is moist, but not heavy and the flavor is perfect.
