Chocolate Chai Cupcakes image

Indian spices and rich cocoa give these oversized chocolate cupcakes a twist. It's like hot chocolate and a chai latte blended together in cupcake form. For those conscious about their heart health, this recipe uses vegetable oil instead of butter and nonfat milk powder instead of whole milk. These cupcakes taste better after being refrigerated overnight.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
¾ cup hot black tea, or as needed
nonstick cooking spray with flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup sunflower seed oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Put nonfat milk powder in a measuring cup; stir in enough black tea to make 1 cup. Stir until milk is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and black pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Sift spice mixture, flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl. Stir cooled tea mixture, oil, and egg into flour mixture until batter is just combined; fold in ginger. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4-full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool cupcakes on wire racks.

The cupcakes were delicious, but the frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try using a different frosting recipe next time.

These cupcakes were a bit too dense for my liking, but the flavor was spot on. I might try experimenting with the recipe next time to see if I can get a lighter texture.
