Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
2 tbsp milk (1% fat)
30g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g
1 tsp ginger
5g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Make Batter:
- Cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ginger.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
3. Bake:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Prepare Glacé Ginger Cream:
- While the cakes are cooling, whip the heavy whipping cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
- Optionally, you can fold in the finely chopped glacé ginger into the whipped cream for added flavor.

5. Serve:
- Once the cakes have cooled, serve them with a dollop of the glacé ginger cream on top.
- Optionally, garnish with additional chopped glacé ginger.

Tips:

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start mixing to ensure a smooth batter.

- For a finer texture, sift the self-raising flour before measuring it out.

- To evenly incorporate the spices, you can whisk them together with the flour before combining with the wet ingredients.

- When whipping the cream, make sure it’s cold and use a chilled bowl to achieve stiff peaks more easily.

- Fold the whipped cream gently to maintain its fluffy texture.

- Be cautious with garlic cloves; mince them finely so their strong flavor compliments rather than overpowers the cakes.

Little spice cakes with glace ginger cream are not only easy to make but they elevate your baking with their aromatic spices and delectable cream.
