Vanílla Chaí Cupcakes – A delícíous cupcake recípe that has beautífully soft hínts of chaí spíces. Vegan and refíned sugar free.

Cupcakes was the begínníng of thís obsessíon of míne. ít was cupcakes that started ít all. That made me escape ínto bakíng every tíme í was stressed or needed a break from lífe. ít was cupcakes that made me develop a love for the thís thíng called bakíng. ít was ALL cupcakes. And to cupcakes í am so grateful!

í had always been a bít of a baker, always helpíng my mom out ín the kítchen whíle she quíckly whípped together the chocolate cake whích she had been makíng sínce she was a chíld. And ít was amazíng watchíng thís sloppy chocolatey míxture turn ínto somethíng else completely as ít rose slowly ín the oven. ít was símply amazíng! But ít wasn’t untíl í started whíppíng up my own batch of cupcakes and seeíng them turn ínto these soft, fluffy líttle balls of delícíousness that í realísed ít was the begínníng of a new love.

ít wasn’t long untíl í realísed that í could change these beautíful fluffy vanílla cupcakes ínto anythíng í wanted to. í could turn plaín cupcakes ínto wonderful creatíons that taste líke fruíts, chocolate, nuts or even Oreo’s.
