Instructions
Cupcake Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Mix in the egg and molasses until fully combined.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and clove.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the coffee to the wet ingredients. Mix well after each addition.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cupcakes bounce back when lightly touched.
Glaze Instructions
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. The glaze should be thick, but easily spreadable.
Spread onto cooled cupcakes.
