Chai Coffee Cake

This recipe is a deliciously moist yellow cake with chai spiced streusel in the middle and on the top that makes a perfect crisp. Every bite makes you want to go back for more. This goes without saying since it is a COFFEE cake but I’m telling you I’ve had coffee cakes before and nothing compares to the perfect pairing of a warm sip of coffee between bites of this cake. Having coffee with this chai coffee cake really and truly takes the flavor to the next level! Side note my favorite coffee is the CC’s breakfast blend!

Chai

Chai is one of my FAVORITE things. I absolutely love chai lattes (with an occasional shot of espresso making it a dirty chai latte). I just love the mixture of spices and the aroma of a nice warm chai latte. The cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cardamom really all come together and create a feeling like no other. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and want to sit by the fire on a nice cold day. Adding these spices to a coffee cake really takes the feeling to a whole new level!
