These cupcakes were excellent! I got rave reviews from my family and friends, and they couldn't believe they tasted good w/o all the "real" sugar. I used wheat flour instead of white all-purpose flour, 1/2 c butter + 1/2 c applesauce instead of all butter, Truvia sweetener instead of sugar, Splenda brown sugar blend instead of brown sugar, and 3 eggs instead of 4 eggs. Use crystallized ginger -- it really makes all the difference in the taste. I will be making these again! Oh, and use the Cream Cheese Frosting II recipe!

This recipe is awesome, but I just have one question...if I were to make these mini cupcakes, how long would I have to bake them?

These cupcakes are so moist! I followed the recipe exactly, except using earth balance butter. I used a cream cheese recipe from Allrecipes and added more chopped crystallized ginger on top. So tasty!!

These are delicious! I didn't use the crystallized ginger and used 1.25 tsp of ginger! also, if you make big cupcakes like I did, they take 22 minutes to bake! Thanks for the great recipe!

Amazing! These were so moist and very, very good. My kids couldn't wait for them to be frosted and ate them without and were quick to let me know that they were so good that they didn't need frosting. I will definitely be making these again!

Followed exactly. They were very moist and the flavor was excellent. I did as another reviewer did and made a frosting with 4oz cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter creamed together with 1tsp vanilla and 1tsp cinnamon added and 2 cups of sifted powdered sugar. Excellent!
