Ingredients
  

Chai Spice Mix

  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cardamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • pinch of black pepper

Cupcake batter

  • 220 grams plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 140 full cream milk
  • 30 mls cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
  • 225 grams caster sugar
  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 170°C/ 150°C fan forced, and line cupcake trays with cupcake papers.
  • In a bowl add the plain flour, chai spice mix, salt, and baking powder into a bowl and stir with a whisk to combine.
  • In a small jug, combine the milk, cream and vanilla.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar and beat using an electric beater until light and fluffy, for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time making sure they are well incorporated.
  • Add 1/3 of the flour mixture at a time with half the milk and beat on low until combined. Continue to do this with the second 1/3 of the flour with the last half of the milk, beating until just combined. Add the final portion of flour, beat for 5 seconds, then using a rubber spatula, mix until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill each cupcake paper 3/4 full and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops of the cupcakes bounce back when pressed.
  • Allow cooling in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Ice with an easy buttercream or just sprinkle over icining sugar.
