Chai, Chai Again...
Today felt like Fall. Much cooler, damp from rain showers, and cloudy. This was a jeans and sweatshirt day - the first one since June. This was a grilled peanut butter and jelly (plum apple butter) sandwich for lunch day. This was a day to make something that smelled of cinnamon and spice to warm up and feel cozy. This was a day for Chai Cake with Honey-Ginger Glaze. Well, tomorrow, and the next day, and most likely the next day, will all be days for Chai Cake with Honey-Ginger Glaze. This was another recipe from my new cake cookbook, Sky High: Irresistible Three Layer Cakes. This was another home run recipe. So much so that after the batter was made and poured into the pans and we each had a small taste from the scrapings in the bowl, it was determined that I had to make more just for us. The cake was slotted to be taken to church for Welcome to Woodlands tonight, and I am not sure just taking two-thirds of a cake in would have been appropriate. So as the cake was baking I made another half of the recipe and poured it in a muffin tin for cupcakes. A chai latte is my favorite hot drink, and putting it in cake form, and then glazing it with a mixture of cream cheese, butter, confectioner's sugar, honey and fresh ginger is pure genius. Kudos to Alisa Huntsman, Peter Wynne, and Tina Rupp. They are my current food heros.
