Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Strong brewed chai tea
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a stand mixer or hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and grated fresh ginger.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, brewed chai tea, heavy cream, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth and thick but pourable.
Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy!
