Chai Tea Cupcakes

This recipe is adapted from The Cakemix Doctor Returns book page 101 (Toffee Cake with Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting). 

Chai Cake/Cupcakes
1 box white cake mix with pudding in the mix
1/4 cup flour
1 cup sour cream
1 cup warm water
1 Tbl. vanilla extract
3 eggs
1/2 cup chai tea powder (I get at Costco-Chamba Chai spiced chai latte)
Mix all together beating on high 2 min. Bake as a cake or cupcakes.

Browned Butter Cream Cheese Chai Frosting
1/2 stick butter
1 package cream cheese (8 oz) chilled
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
1 - 2 Tbl. strong chai tea liquid (mix 8 oz. hot water with two scoops chai tea)

Melt butter and heat on med. low until it carmelizes and turns light brown. Place chilled cream cheese in mixing bowl. Pour hot butter over cream cheese and add vanilla. Beat on low speed with mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar a little at a time until all is blended. Increase speed and mix until fluffy.

(I added my homemade toffee bits to the tops of these cupcakes.  I will sell you my toffee if you want it for these cupcakes or just to eat.)
