The second time I added 2 teaspoons of baking powder and one of egg replacer (consistent with a cruelty free recipe) and it is lighter. Thank you so much for sharing.<br />JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-51909981302777154602008-01-23T08:22:00.000+11:002008-01-23T08:22:00.000+11:00thanks Katie - I think most sweet foods can be imp...thanks Katie - I think most sweet foods can be improved with chocolate so I am sure chocolate icing would be great on this one. <BR/><BR/>BTW my dad has reported the cake is still tasting good days later and that 'time does not threaten it' :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-57555023731175564992008-01-23T05:05:00.000+11:002008-01-23T05:05:00.000+11:00The cake sounds amazing, I adore chai tea.

I bet it would be great with a little chocolate icing on top, i think that goes well with the spices.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008246307753272616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-62003261241519695462008-01-21T10:03:00.000+11:002008-01-21T10:03:00.000+11:00thanks Susan - plain is sometimes good for everyda...thanks Susan - plain is sometimes good for everyday, especially plain and healthy!<BR/><BR/>thanks Ricki, I think some of my disappointment with recipes (esp for blogging photos) is when they taste really good but don't look terribly interesting! I am not a fan of chai tea which is part of the reason that I made this cake to use the teabags. Would be interested to see what you might do with the cake!<BR/><BR/>thanks Cindy - glad I have finally made this cake as wanted to make it since I saw you make it - and big thanks for the wise advice on the almond essence. And I think it will make me feel very virtuous to eat it for afternoon tea :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-48118528587055669122008-01-21T08:26:00.000+11:002008-01-21T08:26:00.000+11:00As you said, it's interesting to read another pers...As you said, it's interesting to read another perspective on a recipe!<BR/><BR/>Your description makes me think I should make it again - I'm keen to inhale the 'honey roll' version without the almond essence. :-)<BR/><BR/>I agree that it's a very wholesome cake. It's something I would bake to eat at home during the week, rather than prepare for visitors or a special occasion.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-61461762784772889942008-01-21T01:41:00.000+11:002008-01-21T01:41:00.000+11:00I just love that quote about cookbook recipes! I h...I just love that quote about cookbook recipes! I have certainly attempted to reproduce such things and been disappointed when the reality doesn't match the gorgeous photo. (Now, with a blog, my disappointment comes at being unable to CREATE the goregous photos in the first place!).<BR/><BR/>Though I've never been a fan of chai tea, this does sound very good. I can imagine it for breakfast, especially since you reduced the sweetness, maybe with a little nut butter. Another to add to my ever-expanding list!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-31569215598465468982008-01-21T00:35:00.000+11:002008-01-21T00:35:00.000+11:00Perhaps it's a little too plain, but it sounds hea...Perhaps it's a little too plain, but it sounds healthier than the average sweet cake. I'm intrigued by the honey roll. I'll have to look it up. Swiss rolls are such a delight.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970742141705361136noreply@blogger.com
