Chai Spiced Pound Cake with Cardamom Honey Glaze

The teatime cravings are real. I’ve made this deliciously spiced cake a couple of times for my family and it has been a hit. It was swiped in a day! It’s moist, buttery rich and super delicate.

Anyway, let me tell you what I’ve been up too.  I’ve been preoccupied with ‘GHEE’, now I’m sure you shaking your head and thinking, “Really Shamim, like you had to tell us that!” (sarcasm intended)  Well, of course it’s ghee.  Ghee all the way baby!

Since the beginning of this year, Continue reading
