Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). 🌡️
- Prepare your muffin tin by greasing and flouring 12 cups or lining them with paper wrappers; set aside. 🧁
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt in a small bowl; set aside. 🥄
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well blended and creamy. 🧈
- Reduce the mixer speed to medium, then beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. 🥚🥚🌿
- Reduce the mixer speed to low, and gradually beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix! 🥛
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full. 🥄
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and spring back when lightly pressed with a fingertip. 🕒
- Cool the cupcakes in the muffin tin for 15 minutes, then carefully invert them onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting. 🧊
