DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 regular sized cupcake pans with paper liners.

Sift flour, ginger, baking powder, Ground Saigon Cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Alternate adding flour mixture and milk to egg mixture.  Add one third of the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Add half the milk and another third of the flour mixture, beating after each addition. Add remaining milk and end with the flour mixture. Place batter into prepared pans.
  3. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre of cupcake comes out clean. Cool on wire cooling rack.
  4. Icing: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat all ingredients for icing excluding milk. Add 1 to 2 Tbsp. (15 to 30 mL) of milk if icing is too thick.
