For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of canola oil. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns a nutty brown color, then let it cool slightly before adding it to the wet ingredients. Adjust the spices to your liking! If you prefer a spicier cupcake, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or increase the amount of ginger and cloves. These cupcakes are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
