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.

CHAI LATTE CUPCAKES (FROM BETTY CROCKER)



Chai Latte Cupcakes (From Betty Crocker) image

From the Betty Crocker website. I LOVE these cupcakes. A nice grown-up taste and very simple to make using a cake mix. I like 'Zaar "Recipe #19353" for the vanilla frosting but you can use your own or pre-purchased frosting.

Tips for Making the Best Chai Latte Cupcakes:

  • For a more pronounced chai flavor, use a strong chai tea infusion or a double dose of chai spice mix.
  • Make sure the chai tea mixture is cooled before adding it to the cupcake batter to prevent curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can result in dense, tough cupcakes.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full to prevent overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them.
  • For a smooth, creamy frosting, make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
  • Decorate the cupcakes with additional chai spices, such as ground cardamom or cinnamon, for an extra touch of flavor.

These chai latte cupcakes are a delightful treat that combines the warm, comforting flavors of chai tea with the sweetness of vanilla cupcakes.
