MASALA CHAI SPICED SHEET CAKE

the antidote to a traditional Christmas cake

Congratulations everyone, we made it to the last working week of the year. If like me, you still have a million things to do and you feel like everyone else has clocked off for the year, you are not alone, we’re in this together. In case you missed it, we announced our Winter Supper Club this week, which will be taking place in the new year at the warehouse on January 25th & 26th. This is the first time we have done two nights in a row, and I’m not gonna lie, I am slightly bricking it in terms of the sheer volume of focaccia that needs to be made, but I am also very excited to be able to welcome more of you to our home. You can find all the details in this post and check out our website here.

In other news, this cake has been my stand out recipe of the year. It sort of came about as a mistake, I was frantically trying to get all the food ready for our Christmas party, when I realised I hadn’t made anything sweet for my vegan friends, and thus this masala chai cake was born. It ended up being the highlight of the night and I am so happy to share the recipe with you just in time for Christmas.

This is my last newsletter of 2024, and I want to say a HUGE thank you for all your support and readership this year. I was so nervous to launch The Late Plate in October, but I couldn’t be more glad that I have now. It brings me so much joy to know that you are reading and cooking and eating my recipes, and enjoying them as much as I am.

Merry Christmas from my little warehouse kitchen, I’ll see you on the other side.

Love, Rosie x
