In reply to Olivia.

Thank you so much! I was looking for guidance on baking in two 8″ pans instead of three 6″ pans. All my cake domes/cake savers are only tall enough for two layers.

In reply to Meri. Hi Meri! This is in the first step in the recipe -- steep some chai tea in some warm milk.

Delicious chai flavor! Reduced the bake time in my convection oven to 28 minutes. Probably could have done 26, but it turned out alright at 28. Added a chocolate ganache drip and top and glitter dust for decoration. High marks from the birthday recipient I made it for!

In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah! It should be fine. The cake may be slightly more dense.

Would Buttermilk work in this recipe or would it affect the leavening agents?

In reply to Liz. Hi Liz! If just a couple days you can store the whole finished cake in the fridge. Otherwise you can freeze the cake layers and take them our 2-3 hours before you want to assemble and decorate.

How far ahead of time can you make the cake? And how to store during that time? I am wanting to make it 48 hours before serving but I can make the frosting and decorate the day I’m serving it. Thank you! Love your website.
