Nana’s Apple Chai Cake is a sweet spice cake loaded with chunks of apples and crunchy pecans and topped with a whipped vanilla chai frosting and it’s so easy to make thanks to Tastefully Simple!
Fun little fact, I used to be a Tastefully Simple consultant. During college it was a great way to feed myself and put a little extra cash in my pocket. I’ve always loved the products and I’m slightly addicted to their Garlic Garlic, who’s with me? Since I’m throwing an online party, I thought it would be fun to make a recipe using the products and share it here on the blog! The Nana’s Apple Cake is one of my favorite products, I love the big chunks of apples and the crunch of the nuts! I also love their Oh My Chai which they have replaced with the new Vanilla Chai, so of course I had to “chai” it out, I crack myself up! Anyways, I decided to combine the two and make this Nana’s Apple Chai Cake.
It’s a tasty fall dessert that’s super easy to make thanks to the Tastefully Simple products, I love that tastefully simple recipes are made with just 1 or two extra ingredients. It makes them great for stressful holidays and busy weeknights! But this cake was just a nice Sunday afternoon treat after a game of Koob. The apple and pecan stuffed cake topped with that silky whipped vanilla chai frosting was so tasty and it would be a great alternative to apple pie at Thanksgiving, oh who am I kidding, you can’t replace the apple pie… but you can have both 😉
