Aaah, Summer. It feels like it is finally here. Here is London, it’s never quite an ‘Indian Summer’. If we’re lucky we’ll get a few days above 25*C which is often considered a heatwave! LOL. So, in an effort to try and stretch out this good feeling and bring a little exotic flavour to our days, I thought I’d share my recipe for Chai Latte Cupcakes with you. They are really delicious!
RECIPE –
150ml whole milk
2 heaped tbsp loose Chai black tea
125g unsalted butter, soft
125g caster sugar
125g self raising flour
2 large free-range eggs
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1.5 tbsp chai milk infusion
200g unsalted butter soft
450g icing sugar, sifted
3-4 tbsp chai milk infusion

Testés et approuvés!! From belgium 🙂 your recipe is delicious!! I try it this morning and there is no more cupcake, my brother and my father don't usually like cupcakes or any kind of dessert, but they really enjoyed them! As much as me 🙂
Keep up the good work jemma. Big Fan! xD
Hi Jemma! i love your videos! could you do a video on mini cupcakes? 😊
Hi jemma. Can u do an eggless cupcake recipe please😊
i love it😍
could you use regular sugar or powdered sugar instead of caster sugar?
why u say chai tea, chai is tea only
omg I love chai tea!!! I've got to try this recipe!!
Wow…
Chai is also called tea in Pakistan
I can just imagine how amazing these would taste… thanks Jemma! Can't wait to try it out 🙂
I just made these and WOW – probably my new favorite cupcakes. Thanks Jemma
hi Jemma I made this recipe twice using the same ingredients and following your instructions but both times the cupcakes fell flat… do you know what could've caused that?
chai tea is literally tea tea.
CupcakeJemma is your book in gramms ?
Does anyone know where to buy real tea in Mexico (that is not extremely expensive)??
Yummy 🤤
Hi where can I get the chai mix from?
Chai = tea. Masala chai = spiced tea. Chai tea = tea tea.
Hello Jemma, I like to watch your YouTube Very Much and those videos can solve all my questions about cupcakes piping and preparations. Btw, I like to know if I can replace the Chai tea with Eral Grey tea leaves to make that cupcake? Thank you.
Hi, if I don't have self raising flour but cookie/cake flour or all purpose flour,, what I should use? Thank you
could you try making cookies with the same spices? chai is already sweet so having some spicy cookies will taste better with tea…
Okay, we get it: 'chai' is the word for 'tea' in a lot of languages that aren't English. The title of 'chai tea' is used to refer to a specific type/flavour of tea the way 'fruit' or 'pasta' might be added to describe the kind of salad you're eating. You can all calm down now.
Chai and tea is the same thing..chai is tea in hindi
How does this work for swiss meringue buttercream? How much chai tea should I add to it?
Jemma you have brought those chai flavours in the most appealing manner.
So many comments about how "chai" translates to "tea". Can we all agree that the type of tea that chai is (with all its spices), is different to the plain black tea (e.g. Ceylon) most are familiar with?
can you make the recipe in cups as well? thank you!!
I’m in love! And the cupcakes look yummy, too!
Can we add egg substitute
I can assure you jemma you wouldnt want to be in india anywhere near may. Its boiling hot in here!!!
Nice idea…surely try dis…
I love Chai these will be divine.
What is chai milk infusion
This looks amazing! Would it work in a cake form as well?
It comes from Pakistan
Chai and tea is the same… U can add some cardamom to add more flavour to your tea… Jemma you are amazing…
Chai means tea only. It seems very weird to me when u say chai tea
Omg this looks delish!
this seems not even the least bit appetizing to a native chai drinker. btw 'chai' means 'TEA'
Which brand of chai would you suggest Jemma ?
Love your channel and your creativity but “chai” means tea, so… chai tea is redundant! The word came from mandarin. And tea in English came from China too but from a Chinese dialect (Hokkien). All in a good faith but is such a spread mistake among English speakers, specially in US, that I couldn’t let it go… sorry.
How would this buttercream behave with food coloring?
What size cupcake liners do you use?
I love chai tea. I always have a it in my pantry. This looks so delicious!! 💕
Oh ma lawd. Indian here. Its very annoying to hear chai tea! The Indian version is called masala chai or masala tea. There's no goddamn chai tea. That doesn't make senseeee!
This turned out such a great recipe for my Mom's birthday! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!❤️❤️ It turned out absolutely delicious😋😋😋! Moreover my mom who can't really take so much frosting in one go had her serving fully!! Thanks to you Jemma ❤️😍. I had this this recipe saved for this very occasion! Would like share a pic of the cupcakes
