Chai is one of my all time favourite flavours. As I’m not a coffee drinker, when I’m at a coffee shop I will always order a Chai Latte and because of that I was eager to replicate the flavour and texture of that delicious drink in a cake.
Chai Latte, if made well will be soft, light, silky and with that lovely spicy flavour which is always made better with a sprinkling of cinnamon on top.
This recipe is adapted from my Cappuccino Cake recipe from my cookbook With Love and Buttercream. You can make the Chai flavour as strong as you like by adding more Tea Bags to the milk. I originally made it with 6 tea bags, but didn’t think it was quite strong enough. My next tester had 10 tea bags and I thought that was just right.
