You are going to love these two new recipes! A creamy chai tea latte recipe and better for you chocolate date cake are the perfect combo for afternoon tea time or dinner dessert. I’ve been enjoying this super easy tea as an afternoon treat for weeks and when I made this cake cake, my kids gobbled it up. Both of these treats are made with better for you ingredients that I feel good about feeding my family.
Creamy Chai Tea Latte Recipe with Chocolate Date Cake-
I’ll get to the details of these yummy date cake recipe, but first lets talk about my favorite chai tea latte recipe.
You will need creamer, a bag of chai tea and hot water {that’s it!}
Steep the chai tea bag in hot water for several minutes to get a strong tea base.
Add 1 or 2 TBS of Sweet and Creamy Creamer to the chai tea for the most creamy and flavorful tea. This SO hits the spot on cold days.
So I had some dates in my fridge left over from Christmas baking. I decided to adapt a few recipes and see if I could use those up to make a chocolate date cake worthy of a Valentines {or any day} dessert. Judging how quickly my family at this up, I think I achieved my goal.
I also love this recipe as it has so many better for you ingredients and the flavor is amazing. I chopped the dark chips and whole pitted dates in my blender.
Substituting apple sauce for the butter in the recipe cuts both fat and calories from a traditional cake recipe. I don’t notice any texture or flavor changes from the substitution either.
This cake came out very light and fluffy
I used a coconut oil glaze {equal parts vanilla candy melts and coconut oil melted together} and it added great flavor to the top of each cake.
The sprinkles were just for color and fun! And now here is the full recipe!

I say to you, I certainly get irked at the same time as other folks consider worries that
they plainly don’t recognize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and outlined
out the entire thing with no need side effect , other people could take
a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thank you
