Spiced Chai Cake and Its Nutritional Information

Ingredients You Will Need:

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup brewed chai tea (cooled)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cardamom.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, brewed chai tea, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Make the Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Prepare the Frosting: Beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Beat until smooth and fluffy.

7. Frost and Serve: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or garnish with chai spice for an extra touch.

Tips for the Perfect Spiced Chai Cake:

  1. Choose Quality Chai: Use a strong, flavourful chai tea blend to ensure the spices shine through.
  2. Don’t Skip Cooling: Frosting a warm cake can cause the frosting to melt, so patience is key.
  3. Custom Spices: Adjust the spice levels to your preference for a bolder or milder chai flavour.

Happy Baking!
