Step-by-Step Instructions for Chai Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add buttermilk into the butter mixture, alternating with the dry ingredients. Mix at low speed just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35-38 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Brown the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden. In a mixing bowl, beat browned butter with cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- In a small saucepan, combine whole milk and chai teabags over low heat, steep for about 10 minutes. Mix in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
- Poke holes in the cooled cake, then pour the chai milk soak evenly over it.
- Spread the brown butter cream cheese frosting over the top of the chai cake. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.
