Chai Cupcakes Recipe (makes approx. 2 dozen)
1 1/2 sticks butter
2 1/2 cups flour
2 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cup milk
3 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon chai tea
Frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
1 stick butter
2 sticks cream cheese
1 tablespoon chai tea
A couple teaspoons of milk, depends on your preference of consistency
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Mix butter and sugar together first. Add in dry ingredients with wet. Bake for 16 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. For the frosting, sift the powdered sugar into the softened butter. If it’s not softened, you must be patient and wait! Mix the rest of ingredients and put into a piping bag and tip. Decorate however you please! I like to add dark chocolate for a garnish.
Wah! Exning I wanna make these but I'm not sure what you mean by "sticks" of cream cheese. I'm almost sure you mean 2 8oz packages but I've never heard of them referred to as sticks before :x Halp!

That's awesome! Let me know how they turn out
I just made them. The scaling has to be off, they bubbled up and flattened out. Never set like they should have. I even re-made them to make sure I didn't make a mistake. Same issue again -.-
After looking at other cupcake recipes from around the net, it looks like you meant 1 3/4 cup sugar. It seemed odd that there was more sugar than flour, but I didn't question it too much. :x
