Week 77: Chai Latte Sheet Cake

Fall is here, and I am determined to make more cozy desserts. I’m starting off with this chai latte sheet cake.

Chai is a popular tea from India that typically includes spices like cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.

The first time I tried a Chai latte was in Starbucks, and it’s now my favorite fall drink. So, it was only fitting that I tried making a chai-inspired cake.

This cake, paired with a cream cheese frosting, is the perfect mix of spicy and tangy. You’ll keep coming back for seconds.
