Cooking Steps
1. In a small mug, pour boiling water over 4 chai tea bags. Let steep for 5 minutes. Measure 1/2 cup of the strong chai tea and add to a medium bowl. Beat in brown sugar and melted oil. Working quickly, beat in eggs. Mixture should have a thick syrup-like consistency.
2. In a small bowl, sift together flour, white sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients. Stir everything together with a rubber spatula, until well combined and smooth.
3. Divide batter evenly into a 12-count prepared cupcake pan.
4. Bake at 350ºF for 15-20 minutes, until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
5. Meanwhile, to make frosting, beat cream cheese, vanilla, cream and cinnamon until smooth. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time, beating until frosting is creamy.
6. Let cupcakes cool after baking. Frost them and top with a dash more cinnamon, candied ginger or small cinnamon sticks! Enjoy.
