So these two cupcakes I made quite awhile ago. I made Lavender Cupcakes with Honey Frosting for Mother's Day (see, so long ago!) and they were quite different but good. Some people thought the lavender was overpowering. Personally I thought they were really yummy! You can easily cut down on the lavender if you want a very subtle flavor.
Makes about 12-18 cupcakes. Click the link for the recipe. Her's came out prettier than mine!
For the end of school, I made Chai Tea Latte Cupcakes. These were so delicious! They are light and tasty and would go great with coffee or tea. It's also a pretty easy recipe!
Makes about 2 dozen
Ingredients:
For cupcakes
* 1 box of French Vanilla cake mix (I used Betty Crocker.)
* Water, vegetable oil, and eggs called for on the box
* 3 Tbsp of chai latte mix. (There are so many kinds, pick your favorite and experiment!)
For the frosting
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
* 8 oz of light cream cheese
* 4 cups powdered sugar
* 2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 cup vanilla baking chips
* Cinnamon to be sprinkled on top
Directions:
~ Bake cupcakes according to box.
~ Cool for 10 minutes.
~ For the frosting, in the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese together. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing on low, until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
~ Melt chips and beat into frosting.
~ Frost cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. (I swirled it into the frosting.)
