Bereiding

  1. Make the chai spice mix

    • Combine the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom and ground allspice in a small bowl.
    • Set aside; you will use part of it in the cupcakes and part in the buttercream.
    Stap 1
  2. Infuse the milk and preheat the oven

    • Warm the milk in a saucepan until steaming, then add the chai tea bags.
    • Steep for 10 minutes, squeeze out the excess from the bags and let the milk cool.
    • Preheat the oven to 175 °C and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
    Stap 2
  3. Mix the dry ingredients

    • Whisk the flour, chai spice mix, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl.
    Stap 3
  4. Beat the butter, sugar and eggs

    • In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the sour cream.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
    Stap 4
  5. Finish the batter

    • Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
    • Gently fold in the cooled chai-infused milk.
    Stap 5
  6. Bake the cupcakes

    • Divide the batter between the paper cases.
    • Bake for 18–22 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
    • Cool completely on a cooling rack.
    Stap 6
  7. Make the chai buttercream

    • Beat the softened butter until pale and creamy.
    • Add the icing sugar, chai spice mix and salt, then beat until smooth.
    • Mix in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, then whip until light and fluffy.
    Stap 7
  8. Decorate and serve

    • Pipe or spread the buttercream over the cooled cupcakes.
    • Top each with a cinnamon stick and optionally dust lightly with ground cinnamon.
