I was grouchy about having to throw out so much of my pies and breads, so I’m making a cake for me.  Chai Cake.  Just have to get some frosting on it and spend the next few days drinking tea and eating cake.

I didn’t take any pictures in the making.

Just a note to self:  don’t grind your spices yourself unless you sift them before adding to the recipe.  Some of the cloves and pepper had bigger chunks in them.  Sigh.

Also, good news/bad news:  the boy likes the flavor of the cake, but I think it’s overbaked.  I will have to make another one and bake it 5-10 minutes less.
