Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for muffin cups
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for muffin cups
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

These cakes are a great way to use up leftover gingerbread cookies. Just crumble the cookies and add them to the batter.

I made a cream cheese frosting to go with these cakes and it was the perfect pairing. The tanginess of the frosting complemented the sweetness of the cakes perfectly.
