Vanilla Chai Cupcakes
Vanilla Chai Cupcakes – A delicious cupcake recipe that has beautifully soft hints of chai spices. Vegan and refined sugar free.
Cupcakes was the beginning of this obsession of mine. It was cupcakes that started it all. That made me escape into baking every time I was stressed or needed a break from life. It was cupcakes that made me develop a love for the this thing called baking. It was ALL cupcakes. And to cupcakes I am so grateful!
I had always been a bit of a baker, always helping my mom out in the kitchen while she quickly whipped together the chocolate cake which she had been making since she was a child. And it was amazing watching this sloppy chocolatey mixture turn into something else completely as it rose slowly in the oven. It was simply amazing! But it wasn’t until I started whipping up my own batch of cupcakes and seeing them turn into these soft, fluffy little balls of deliciousness that I realised it was the beginning of a new love.
