Chai tea cake with black tea buttercream
Cakes
I always loved adding spices to my baked goods. And when I saw a recipe for 'Black Tea Cake' up on a blog called Pastry Affair, I was in love. And obsessed. I spent 3 days planning this cake for my birthday, I wanted it to be perfect. And big enough to feed my freaklishy large family. This cake is the epitome of spiced goodness. It's so moist, fluffy and deep flavored, it would be great even on it's own. Which leads me to a sensitive topic: frostings. I made this buttercream with more decorative intentions than anything else, although very delicious, it is, indeed, quite sweet. So, if you're not a fan of buttercream, or overly sweetened desserts, this cake alone will be just perfect for you. If you are making it for a celebration, like I did, this frosting is a great pair, slightly floral from the black tea, and more than ready to satisfy any sweet tooth.
