Creating Chai Cake is easy and straightforward. Follow these steps for a delightful baking experience:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves).
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and cooled chai tea until well-blended.
4. Mix the Batter: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and smooth, being careful not to overmix.
5. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into your prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake: Place the cake in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. (Optional) Dust with Powdered Sugar: Before serving, you can lightly dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation.
