Gee, all my scratch recipes are actually someone else's. I have gotten lots of them here, and lately, I've been scouring blogspots for exotic flavors.

What about a chai flavoured cake? Does anyone know how you would flavour that with the spices? I'm addicted to chai lattes right now and have seen a website that offers chai cupcakes. I think they would be delicious! I'd say start with a very vanilla cake but unsure of the spices and their amounts. What do you think?
Thanks
hi cookinnut, yes, i'm sure that would work. would you mind sharing your chai mix? I bought some from a food festival, but am just about out. I would love to try my own, probably cheaper that way too!
Thanks
oh Justducky that would be handy, but I haven't seen anything like that in australia. I can't wait to get to the US and have all these wonderful coffee creamers I see everyone writing about. But I will keep my eye out here, I don't drink coffee, so must admit I never look for them ![]()
Heres the recipe for the chai mix. It makes about 1 1/4 c of mix.
1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. instant tea
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp. corriander
1/2 tsp. clove
mix together and store in airtight container.
I usually dont have corriander so I'll substitute with ginger and allspice.
I give TONS of this away at the holidays, it's pretty good. If you want to use it as a drink just stir in 2 big tablespoons into 1/4 c boiling water and 1/2 c hot milk, or mix to taste.
That's great cookinnut. Thank you so much for that, I can't wait to try it. Only problem, here in Australia they aren't big on 'instant tea', so I'll have to figure something else out. Thanks again!
