FALL BAKING
FALL BAKING

WARM CHAI-SPICED CUPCAKES

One mix. One very fall-worthy transformation.
Modern Whisk’ s Cake Base Mix takes a fragrant turn with warming chai spices. Tender and delicately spiced, these cupcakes feel right at home beside a steaming cup of tea, with just enough occasion about them to bring out the pretty cake stand.
YOU’ LL NEED
1 bag Modern Whisk Cake Base Mix
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp each ground ginger, cardamom and nutmeg
Pinch each
2 large eggs 1 ¼ cups milk
black pepper and ground cloves
2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 Tbsp sour cream
MAKE IT
1. Preheat oven to 350 ° F. Line 18 cups across two standard 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners and set aside.
2. Add the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, black pepper and cloves to the Modern Whisk Cake Base Mix and stir to distribute evenly.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil and sour cream. Add the Cake Base Mix and spices, then whisk just until smooth. Do not overmix. Allow the batter to rest briefly so the gluten-free flours can hydrate and the batter can thicken.
4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full.
5. Bake for 17 – 20 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the cupcakes rest in the pan for one minute, then transfer individually to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Finish with a generous swirl of salted caramel or browned-butter buttercream. Find both recipes at modernwhisk. com.
