♥Valentine's Cupcake Recipe Made With Tea

These delicious cupcakes are perfect for celebrating your special occasions. We started with a package of Bob’s Red Mill Chocolate Cake Mix and prepared it as directed on the package. We then added to the batter 1 tablespoon of Bliss Tea Company Organic Earl Grey Tea as well as 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. We pulsed Bliss Tea Company Organic Earl Grey Tea in our mini Cuisinart to achieve a fine consistency before adding it to the batter. If you are a true Earl Grey lover you can certainly add more tea to this recipe for added flavor. The end result is an incredibly moist cupcake with a rich chocolaty taste not to mention Gluten Free and simple to prepare!
                                                                                                           
Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe:

1 Stick of Butter, room temperature
1 8oz block of Cream Cheese, room temperature
2-3 Cups Gluten Free Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract

1.   With an electric mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese together, about 3 minutes on medium speed until very smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
2.   Add the vanilla extract and mix. Slowly add the powdered sugar. Keep adding until you get to desired sweetness and thickness.
3.   Either spread on with a blunt knife or spatula, or spoon into a piping bag to decorate your cupcakes. Enjoy!
