Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with oil.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and flour until well combined.
-
Add the Steen's syrup, oil, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Beat with a mixer or whisk until the batter is smooth and uniform.
-
In a small separate cup, dissolve the baking soda into the boiling water. Stir until the soda is fully incorporated and the fizz subsides slightly.
-
Pour the hot soda-water mixture into the batter and stir gently but thoroughly to combine. The batter may bubble slightly; this is normal.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
-
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
