This cozy Chai Spice Cake is full of warm spices and packed with flavor. It has moist spice cake layers that are stuffed with shortbread cookie crumbles, thick caramel sauce, and frosted in delicious Chai Swiss meringue buttercream.
This cake is super cozy and full of flavor. It has three layers of spice cake made tender with kefir yogurt, butter, and oil.
Between the layers is crushed up shortbread cookies and thick caramel sauce. The star of the cake is truly the chai buttercream - I hope you love it as much as I do!
For this cake, I was inspired by everyone’s favorite London Fog Cake. It has layers of moist chocolate cake filled and frosted with an Earl Grey buttercream then drizzled with caramel sauce. It is so good!
