Preparation Steps
1
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) so it reaches the desired temperature while you prepare the batter.
2
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a whisk or an electric mixer.
3
Add the oil, honey, and vanilla sugar, then mix well until you have a smooth batter.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. You can add the dry ingredients without sifting, but sifting helps to avoid lumps.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing constantly until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
6
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
7
Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. They're done when the tops are slightly raised and golden brown.
8
Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tins before serving. If desired, decorate with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or a simple glaze.
