Chai cupcakes

Étapes de la recette

Preparing homemade chai spices

1. Mix all the spices in a bowl and store in an airtight jar.

Making the cupcakes

1. In a large bowl or food processor, cream the butter and La Perruche Cassonade until smooth.
2. Add the eggs and oil, then beat with a whisk.
3. In a second bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, chai spices and salt. Gradually stir this mixture into the first large bowl.
4. Then pour in the milk (or plant-based milk) a little at a time, while continuing to stir at the same time.

Baking homemade muffins

1. To bake, use a cupcake tin. Butter them. Fill the cupcake tin or boxes only 3/4 full with the cupcake mixture and place on an ovenproof baking sheet.
2. Preheat conventional oven to 180°C and bake cupcakes for around 20 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting the tip of a knife into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, the cupcake is done.

For the homemade whipped cream

1 hour before preparing the whipped cream, place the bowl of the food processor and the whisk in the fridge.

1. While the chai cupcakes are baking, prepare the whipped cream by pouring the whole cream, powdered sugar and vanilla flavoring into the bowl of a food processor. Whip at medium speed until the whipped cream rises and holds together.
2. Place the whipped cream in a piping bag of the desired shape.

Decorating homemade cupcakes

1. Once the chai cupcakes are cooked, leave to cool completely before decorating with whipped cream and a cinnamon stick.
2. Add a small tablespoon of cinnamon powder on top for an unusual decoration.
