Chocolate Chip Chai Cake
I have just taken a Chocolate Chip Chai Cake out of the oven. I felt like trying a new recipe, and I had the ingredients for this one. If it tastes good, I'll post the recipe. It called for four egg whites, so I'm expecting it will be pretty light and fluffy.

And the verdict on this yummy-sounding cake????
Here's the verdict: pretty good. It was best fresh out of the oven, but it got a little sticky when it cooled. That just might be because of the rainy weather, though. Anyhow, it was very light and spongy and didn't need any sort of frosting or anything. The only thing I'd do different next time is use a different tea (or grind the same brand up a bit). It was a little weird to have flakes of tea leaves in the cake. Here's the recipe:
Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
Grease a 13x9 baking pan.
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
2 chai spice tea bags
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp.
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup chocolate chips
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt and contents of tea bags.
In a large bowl, using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Beat flour mixture into butter mixture alternately with buttermilk until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.
Spread in prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake is golden and pulling away from edges.
