Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) skim milk
- 6 chai tea bags
- 1 cup (240 ml) butter, softened
- 2 cups (480 ml) sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups (480 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, scald the milk over medium heat until bubbles form around the edges. Remove from heat and add the chai tea bags. Let them steep for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags and set the milk aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the softened butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and the cooled chai-infused milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

- It pairs well with a cup of coffee or tea.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute whole milk for skim milk if desired.
