Instructies

I highly recommend making the brown butter for the buttercream the night before so that it has plenty of time to fully cool!

Cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12 cup cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the chai spice mix and set aside.

Whisk the cake flour, almond flour, 1 tablespoon of chai spice mix, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk the melted brown butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until combined.

Stir in about half of the flour mixture then stir in the brewed espresso. Next add in the remaining flour mixture and mix until fully combined.

Pour about ¼ cup of batter into each cupcake liner (they should be about halfway full).

Bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove from pan and let cool on wire rack.

Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

Chai Buttercream

In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and powdered sugar until smooth.

Add in the 2 teaspoons of chai spice mix and vanilla extract and mix until creamy.

Add in milk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Then beat the frosting on high speed for 4-5 minutes until super light and fluffy.

Frost cooled cupcakes. I used an open star piping tip for these photos.

Top with a sprinkle of the chai spice mix and enjoy!

These cupcakes will last in the fridge for up to 3 days. However, they taste best when served at room temperature! I like to let them sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving.
