Description
A delicious chai spice cake with a streusel topping that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, (packed)
- 1 Tablespoon chai spice mix, (see notes)
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, (melted)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons chai spice mix, (see notes)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 or 9-inch square baking dish with baking spray and set it aside.
- If you haven’t done so already, make your chai spice mix. See notes below.
- In a bowl, combine the streusel ingredients and mix with a fork until thick and blended. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy.
- Add in flour, baking powder, and chai spice to the batter. Fold in the sour cream until fully combined.
- Pour half the batter (it will be a thin layer) to the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the streusel filling over the batter (I use my hands). Add remaining batter and finish with the remaining streusel.
- Bake cake in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely, then sprinkle with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- To make your own chai spice mix, combine spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves.
