Chai Cupcakes With Honey Buttercream {GF, DF, Vegan & Nut Free} | The Whimsical Wife

The recipe for these Chai Cupcakes with Honey Buttercream caused a stir over on my Facebook page when I posted a sneak peek of this up and coming recipe. You were asking for more when I posted the picture and I felt bad having you to wait this long for the recipe but guys I have it for your today. I hope it was worth the wait. I reckon so because the utterly beautiful spiced smell that comes from baking these cupcakes will fill your house. It is utterly delightful. I love a good chai tea and that was my inspiration for making these cupcakes. The gorgeous spices that combine to make these Chai cupcakes are the traditional base for any chai tea. Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger and cardamon. They make the perfect combination for a spiced up cupcake covered in to die for Honey Buttercream. 

I mean I cannot say no to a beautifully iced cupcake and the Honey Buttercream that these Chai Cupcakes are slathered in is seriously good. While the recipe is for a "buttercream"it is made from a dairy-free spread so that those with dairy intolerance can enjoy a damn good cupcake without the painful after effects. 

I wrote on my Facebook page when I posted these that I am finding it difficult to hold myself to my promise of only taking a small sample of each of these cakes so to keep my waist line intact. I mean would you find it difficult too not to have a little nibble here and there especially when there is beautiful Chai Cupcakes such as these sitting on the counter. Yeah I didn't think so!

Anyway, let's just say that I have had to work a little bit harder at the gym these past few weeks because well... cake and buttercream and yeah it's all adding up. It's all good I mean these cupcakes were to die for and while I may have licked that buttercream one too many times I have no regrets because it was jolly good. 

These Chai Cupcakes with Honey Buttercream would make the perfect addition to any party or celebration. They are something different to the usual vanilla or chocolate cake that is standard for most birthdays. Your guests will be pleasantly surprised with these and I think they will be coming back for seconds and dare I say thirds?
