CHAI CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Any tea fans out there?? I am really not among these (gasp!) , but I really do love a flavour cake, and that is precisely what it is. But before we get the deliciousness that is this Chai Cake all, allow me to inform you. Ugh.
THREE hours after, I was home. It had been good, although I didn't get whatever I needed. I was happy with locating star anise. It is not really from the cake (lol), but it is so pretty!! Omg can it be aromatic. Not a nice smell unless you prefer liquorice (that I really don't ).
It is cardamom that provides its distinctive flavour to tea, and that I think that it's a item, such as cilantro. It is very powerful, which means you would like to take care to not use a lot of it.
This Chai Cake is a cure for tea fans. Packed with spices and paired with a cream cheese frosting that was simple.
