Fun fact, what we commonly associate with “chai tea<\/a>” is actually “masala chai”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word chai simply means tea, so by saying chai tea, we are in fact saying, “tea tea”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masala means spiced, so “masala chai” translates to spiced tea, which is in fact the well-loved drink we are referring to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yeah… can we now call this an educational blog too? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, it’s been a while since we had cupcakes<\/a> on here so, let’s fix that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloves, ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon come together in the perfect blend in this cake, to create a not-too-sweet but not-too-spicy sponge, complimented by a delicate, light vanilla buttercream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoever said chai is just for lattes was wrong, it’s for cake too!<\/p>\n\n\n

I love exploring spices and flavors from other cultures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

India has a pretty warm spot in my heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband’s family is Anglo-Indian, and his grandparents moved over in the 1950s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have spent many hours listening to his Grandad’s stories of working in gold mines, encountering tigers, and eating tons of awesome food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And since dating, I have had hands down the best Bombay potatoes ever. Like ever!<\/p>\n\n\n

Most chai tea cupcakes don’t actually have any tea in them, but this one does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tea gives the cupcake a depth of flavor and adds an authentic tea flavor, without tasting like you just threw a tea bag in a cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tea (chai spiced for good measure) gently infuses in the milk before being added to the batter.<\/p>\n\n\n

They may look understated, but these cupcakes pack a punch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, it’s no secret I could quite happily curl up in a corner and live on tea for the rest of my life, but give me one of these as well and it would sweeten the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n

All they need is a small swirl of buttercream to finish them off, then dive in! These unusual cakes won’t last long!<\/p>\n\n\n
