What can I say about this cake?
I am actually sitting here speechless. That's right -- me! Speechless! This cake is that good.
I'm talking, of course, about my Chocolate Chai-Spiced Loaf Cake. I was inspired this past week to create this recipe as I was sipping on a Starbucks Chocolate Chai Latte (it's a new drink, and you should definitely give it a try!)
As I was making this cake, I was not expecting things to work out quite as beautifully as they did. The final product that came out of my oven was a rich, fluffy, and decadent choclate cake spiced with the wonderful flavors of Chai Tea. For good measure, I added a chai tea glaze on top. Why wouldn't I?
Chai spices include cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves. They are like a big hug on a cold day. Pair them up with chocolate and you are onto something.
Now, look, I try not to be a very demanding blogger. Everyone should be able to choose for themselves what sort of project to take on in the kitchen. But...can I just say something? You will NOT be disappointed with this cake. Even my boyfriend who is not really a dessert or sweet kind of guy had the following to say about this cake. And I quote:
"This is divine."
DIVINE!! Who can say no to that? Let's impress our friends. Let's make our mom proud. Let us go forth and make this cake!
