1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup brewed chai tea
1/4 cup brewed espresso
1 tsp baking powder
Chai spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom)
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your cupcake tin with paper liners.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and your choice of spices, then set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time until well incorporated.
Stir in brewed chai tea and espresso, mixing gently.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
