Notes
For the best results, ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting the recipe. This allows for a smoother batter and more even baking. If you prefer a stronger chai flavor, consider adding a bit more chai spice blend or using a highly brewed chai tea. The cake pairs wonderfully with a chai latte or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
