Chai Latte Cupcakes image

These flavorful chai latte cupcakes with buttercream frosting smell just as good as they taste! Chai tea can be replaced with Earl Grey tea to make London fog cupcakes. Remaining frosting can be kept in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ cup milk
3 chai tea bags, or more to taste
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter
3 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Warm 3/4 cup milk in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to make sure it does not burn, until piping hot but not boiling. Add chai tea bags; set aside and steep for 10 minutes.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a medium bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Beat eggs in 1 at a time. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix well. Stir in 1/2 cup chai mixture until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cupcakes cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Blend together butter and 2 cups confectioners' sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Add remaining chai mixture and gradually add remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar while continuously mixing. Blend until frosting is smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Place frosting into a piping bag, snip off tip of bag with scissors, and pipe onto cooled cupcakes.

VANILLA MATCHA CHAI LATTE (DAIRY FREE)



Vanilla Matcha Chai Latte (Dairy Free) image

This is my new love. I tried a matcha latte at Teaopia tea shop and fell in love with the detox & energy of this Japanese tea. I love that the caffeine in matcha releases slowly into the blood not like caffeine in coffee so you don't get jittery unless you drink a ton without eating anything else, then maybe.

CHAI LATTE MINI-CUPCAKES (GLUTEN-FREE)



Chai Latte Mini-Cupcakes (Gluten-Free) image

Easy to make and delicious - modify spices according to your likes and what you've got in your pantry. You can make this recipe omitting the tea and spices for plain vanilla cupcakes (or other flavours) - just skip the steeping part and use regular milk. You can also make regular-sized cupcakes, but you will need to adjust baking time. All-purpose flour can also be substituted for the brown rice flour, just omit the xanthan gum. Top with 1/2 recipe of this (http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/desserts/thate28099s-the-best-frosting-ie28099ve-ever-had//) frosting or your favourite.
