I like to make this icing on vanilla, chocolate or banana cakes so the flavour stands out but it is delicious on spicy fruit cakes too. - abrarose

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Chai Spice: 1 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, ground cardamon and ground ginger. Mix well and store in an airtight container. You can tweak this to personal taste and also add ground black pepper, ground cloves and ground nutmeg for a more authentic spicy chai.
