Chai cake with honey-ginger cream from Sky High: Irresistible Triple-Layer Cakes by Alisa Huntsman and Peter Wynne

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    p. 152 -- Second time making this, this time for Eric's birthday, and I'm not sure why I bothered repeating this one as it's not one of the best in the book. The cake itself is great -- I doubled the amount of cinnamon and cardamom this time and I think it helped. But the frosting is really not my favorite (separate notes on that recipe), it didn't travel well (there was a slight cakealanche situation due to the sticky, gloopy frosting sliding all over despite chilling for several hours), and wasn't the prettiest. I also sprinkled some additional ground ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon on top (in about a 1:1:4 ratio) to help boost the flavors and decorate it a bit, which helped, but... meh. I would maybe make this cake again with a different frosting though, as the cake component itself is very tasty and a nice texture.

    Halved the ingredients and baked in three 6" pans, which works for all the recipes in this book (that I've tried so far). Spices could probably be kicked up a notch.
