Description

Indulge in these delightful Caramel Chai Latte Cupcakes, featuring a blend of aromatic chai spices and a rich caramel drizzle that creates a warm, comforting treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and sugar until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add the sugar until light and airy (about five minutes).
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while stirring gently to avoid overmixing.
  6. Spoon the batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before drizzling with caramel sauce.
