So, this morning I'm feeling like making a cake. I look around, supplies are a little sparse, but I spy a white cake mix. I was hoping for something more tasty than that! Then I had an idea, as I sipped on a cup of my favorite chai... why not add chai instead of water... hmmm....
I made enough chai to substitute in for the water qty and let it cool off a bit. Added it in, and baked as usual. OMG- it was delightful!!! It was very similar to a spice cake, but a much lighter taste. I was in heaven!
<<For those not familiar with chai, it is a black tea with added spices, usually cinnamon, nutmeg, etc, and then milk or cream is added. To me it tastes a lot like a flavored hot chocolate. You can buy it as a powdered mix, or as tea bags that you brew and add your own milk. You can drink it hot or cold.>>
