Preparation
Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C) and line a 12-cup cupcake pan with liners.
Add all dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chai spice (if using) to a large bowl and whisk until well combined.
Add all wet ingredients (sugars, oil, buttermilk, hot water or coffee, vanilla, egg) to a medium bowl or measuring cup and whisk until smooth. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir (no whisk—use a wooden spoon or spatula!) just until combined. The batter will be thin.
Divide batter between prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely before adding any frosting.
