Step-by-Step Instructions for Chai Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well; then add vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
- Gradually mix in buttermilk and dry ingredients alternately until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the frosting by browning the unsalted butter and mixing with cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy.
- Make the chai milk soak by heating whole milk, steeping the chai teabags, and mixing with sweetened condensed milk.
- Poke holes in the cooled cake and slowly pour the chai milk soak over it. Frost the top with the brown butter cream cheese frosting.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top, cut into squares, and serve.
