Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown butter and sugar, and mix until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
  7. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a stronger chai flavor, consider adding a chai tea bag to the milk while heating it.
  • These cupcakes can be topped with cream cheese frosting for added richness.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
