French Vanilla Chai Cake with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting
1 box Duncan Hines French Vanilla cake mix
1 C water
1/3 C vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 TBS Chai Masala powder (if you don't have Chai Masala, use the spice ingredients below)
1/3 tsp. cardamom powder
1/3 tsp. cinnamon powder
1/3 tsp. pepper powder
1/3 tsp. ginger powder
1/3 tsp. nutmeg powder
1/3 tsp. clove powder
1-1/2 C butter (3 sticks), room temperature
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. cinnamon extract
5 C powdered sugar
1/4 C milk or water
Follow directions on the box cake mix, adding Chai Masala powder to the dry ingredients first. Pour batter into cake pan; bake according to box directions. Set aside to cool. To make frosting, beat the butter with a mixer until light and fluffy. The butter will turn a creamy white color. Add the vanilla and cinnamon; mix until incorporated. Mix in the powdered sugar one cup at a time. A little at a time, add milk to thin the icing out to desired consistency. Cover with damp cloth until ready to use. If you use milk, make sure to keep the cake cool to avoid sour milk. Frost cooled cake and serve.
