These moist old-fashioned molasses cupcakes were my grandmother's specialty. To keep them from disappearing too quickly, she used to store them out of sight. Somehow, we always figured out her hiding places!

Looks scrumptious and on my menu for an upcoming event -- my only question is what kind of molasses did you use? ? And did you use light or dark brown sugar??

I took these to church, thinking the kids would prefer the regular cupcakes and the grownups would like these better, but the kids took almost all of these before the regular ones! Very tasty, you could add ginger, or cinnamon and nutmeg too!

These are awesome! Light and fluffy and no need to make icing. I had to keep these away from ME!

Very moist! I made 26 regular size cupcakes, then put the rest of the batter into a 9x9 pan and have a cake also!

these are very moist- I cut the recipe in half and it still made 18 cupcakes. If you like moleasses- you will enjoy the flavor very much. They are light in texture.

Made these for my husbands coffee bunch that meet every morning in town. Every one of the cupcakes were gone. I think they liked the molasses taste. Different.
