Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×9 inch metal baking pan.
Whisk together all-purpose flour and spices. Set aside.
Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla, mix until smooth.
Gradually mix in buttermilk and flour mixture until combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35-38 minutes.
Cool the cake in the pan for 30 minutes and then on a wire rack.
For frosting, brown the butter, then whip and combine with cream cheese.
Add powdered sugar until fluffy.
Prepare the chai milk soak by steaming milk, steeping chai teabags, cooling, and mixing with sweetened condensed milk.
Poke holes in the cooled cake, drizzle chai milk soak over it.
Frost the cake with brown butter cream cheese frosting and garnish with cinnamon.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing.
Chill the frosting to help it hold its shape better when spread.
For even slices, dip a hot knife in hot water before cutting.
