Chai Tea Cupcakes


Yes, this blog had been long-abandoned, but now that we're in cooking-mode again, we've reclaimed our little past-time.

I had never made cupcakes before, but have eaten plenty. My friend Carol suggested this recipe to me, out of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. I don't have the cookbook (yet) but found a recipe here at the Post Punk Kitchen and adapted it. I used Rice Nog (already flavored) and instead of soy yogurt I used one mashed-up banana.

I first made a vegan cream cheese frosting for the top but it was too watery to pipe through a frosting tube, so I opted for the powdered sugar-and-cocoa mix seen here. They are AMAZING and this was much easier than I though it'd be. I see more cupcakes in our future.
