Ingredients
  

  • 300 G Plain Flour
  • 2 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 4 Tablespoons Milk Powder
  • 100 G Demerara Sugar (If you want a sweeter cake, you can add another 50G)
  • 150 G Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Raisins
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Chai (we're using myteabox's Vanilla Chai)
  • 350 ml water
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Brew the Vanilla Chai. I used 2 teaspoons but if you want a stronger flavour, you can add 1 more. Put to boil for a few minutes and cover with a lid to allow it to infuse properly for 5 minutes. Then, leave it to cool. In my video I used 2 mugs because I wasn’t sure how much I would eventually need. 350ml is enough and I drank the rest (so flavourful!)
  • In a bowl, mix flour, milk powder and baking powder.
  • In a larger bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar. Then pour in the 350ml of Vanilla Chai.
  • Add in the flour mixture in 3 parts and keep whisking.
  • Last, add the raisins and pinch of salt.
  • Pour in a buttered mould. Tap the mould against your counter top.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 160 C for 45 minutes.

Notes

You can use any cake mould you want. I used 2 because since it's valentine's day, it's the perfect excuse to make a heart shape cake.
