The vanilla chai cake is excellent! I made it tonight for a cake I'm making and couldn't stop eating the pieces I cut off :) I think I'm going to try a honey BC with it.

just one question, you say stir in half the quantity of the chai spice mix what do you do with the other half?

Hi, i am in the UK and don't have shortening here - i hear its like butter. so to make the icing, do i use 2 1/2 cups of butter? Thanks

Are the measurements on this recipe correct? Two cups of sugar doesn't seem like enough for five sticks of butter and shortening. I'd expect it to be more like two pounds. I'm eager to try this out, but thought I'd check first.

I'm wondering about the sugar also. I made this frosting to put on top of the Vanilla Chai cupcakes (which were AMAZING!) The frosting was not very stiff and lacked flavor.
