How to make Chai Latte Cake

Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, cardamom, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. 
3. Add vanilla to the buttermilk in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl. 
4. Mix the sugar, brown sugar, and butter in a large bowl until smooth.
5. Add eggs and mix to combine. 
6. Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, then half of the buttermilk mixture. Alternate adding flour and buttermilk, mixing until just combined and smooth.
7. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick baking spray and add the batter to fill the pan evenly, smoothing with a rubber spatula. 
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. 
9. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully remove it and let it cool on a cooling rack. 
10. Make one serving of instant espresso according to the package directions and leave it on a counter or put it in the refrigerator to cool.

Glaze

1. Add powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cooled espresso one teaspoon at a time until you get the desired amount of coffee flavor, about 3-4 teaspoons, and whisk thoroughly.
2. If the glaze mixture is too thin after adding the desired amount of espresso, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar to thicken it up. 
3. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cake using a spoon and let stand until the glaze hardens before serving.

Recipe FAQs and Notes

What makes a bundt cake different than a regular cake?

It’s all about the shape of the cake. Using a bundt pan and making that circular shape with a hole in the middle is what makes a bundt cake a bundt cake.

What toppings can you use on a bundt cake?

This all just depends on what you like. I love using a glaze on my bundt cake, but you can also easily use frosting or powdered sugar.

Can you freeze bundt cake?

You can! Just be certain to store it in an airtight container, and you can store it in the fridge for later. I always make the glaze fresh once I unthaw it.
