Chai Apple Cake
As soon as September arrives, I’m eager to segue into autumn baking – is there anything better in life than the smell of apples and warm spices wafting from the oven? This Chai Apple Cake a casual dessert, one that gets eagerly gobbled up for breakfast with coffee the next day. But this time I was entertaining and wanted to make it special.
The Cream Cheese Frosting
Thick swirls of cream cheese frosting crowning the chai apple cake and dripping seductively down its sides did the trick nicely don’t you think? For this frosting, cream cheese is beaten with butter until light and fluffy, then confectioners’ sugar, pure vanilla and nutmeg are beaten in. Nutmeg might not be the first spice you’d think to add to frosting, but it’s heady aroma complements the richness and sweetness beautifully, and it lends a gripping intrigue that will have you licking the bowl. As a final flourish, I dusted cinnamon over the top using a small fine-mesh sieve. Other Favorite Apple Treats
