Caramel Chai Crumb Cake

For all you tea lovers out there, here is an idea to make a crumb cake using your favorite tea! Today I used a caramel chai. Chai tea is my absolute favorite and it was also a snow day, so to warm my soul I wanted some spice. This recipe recipe will also work with a Pumpkin spice, and even a cinnamon tea. Tea is becoming more popular among the young adults, and adults. Even though coffee still wins, tea is becoming more of an afternoon drink. So for your next brunch, or tea party try this recipe to wow your guest.

Also for this recipe, I used canola oil for the cake instead of butter. Canola oil is a great substitute for butter, it has more healthy unsaturated fats. There's you're fun fact for the day!

Here is how you can make this delicious cake:

Preheat oven 400 degree

Ingredients: 

2 cups Flour

1 tablespoon Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup sugar

1 stick butter ( I used 1/2 cup canola oil)

2 eggs

1/4 cup strong brewed chai tea

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

For the topping:

5 tablespoons Sugar

5 tablespoons Flour

3 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons cinnamon

Step 1: Steep the tea bag for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Stir flour, baking powder in a bowl

Step 3: In a mixer, mix eggs, sugar,and butter

Step 4: Add brewed tea, milk, vanilla to wet ingredients

Step 5: Fold in the dry to the wet ingredients until well combined and no flour pockets

Step 6: Pour batter into baking pan, or even muffin tins. Whichever you want

Step 7: Using a fork,combine all ingredients for the topping to create a crumb topping. Pour over the batter in the cake pan, or if you want muffins then spoon topping on each muffin.

Step 8: Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool

When I do make these next time, I want to make a glaze for them. If you try this recipe, and make a glaze leave me a comment with you decided to make. I would love to hear your opinions.

Happy baking xo
