Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp of nonfat dry milk powder
  • 3/4 cup of hot black tea, or more if necessary
  • nonstick cooking spray infused with flour
  • 2 tsp of ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp of ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp of ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp of ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper
  • 1 cup of versatile all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 6 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp of baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 1/4 cup of sunflower seed oil
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 tsp of freshly grated ginger

Step 1

Start by placing nonfat milk powder in a measuring cup, then add black tea until it reaches 1 cup. Gently stir until the milk is fully dissolved, then set it aside to cool.

Step 2

Next, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and generously spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together a delightful blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and black pepper for a burst of flavor.

Step 4

Now, combine this spice mixture with flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Blend in the cooled tea mixture, oil, and egg until just combined, then gently fold in some finely chopped ginger to elevate the taste.

Step 5

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.

Step 6

Pop the pan into the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, typically around 12 to 15 minutes. Once baked to perfection, transfer the cupcakes to wire racks to cool and enjoy the delicious aroma that fills your kitchen.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. Organizing your pantry is key to easily accessing all your baking ingredients. Group items like flour, sugar, and spices together for quick access when making your delectable cupcakes.
  2. Invest in air-tight containers to keep your spices fresh and potent. This will ensure that your cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper add the perfect kick to your chocolate cupcakes every time.
