Grate the carrots and the lemon zest into a bowl. Take another bowl and combine the flour, baking powder, 1⁄2 a teaspoon of sea salt, and the spices. Add the leaves of the tea bag and set the bowl aside. Into your third bowl go the sugar, eggs and vegetable oil. Now you take the carrot mix and add it to your wet mix. Combine all together, then add the dry mix. Give it a good stir until you have a smooth and even mixture.

The cake mix goes into the oven for 50 min to an hour on 180 ° C.

Whilst the Chai Spiced Carrot Cake is in the oven you can go on wiping up the Cream Cheese Buttercream.

Here it is the yummiest Carrot Cake you will ever eat. Well definitely from my perspective. The spices take this cake just to another level and made me like Carrot Cake again. It is well balanced and the blend of spices give it just the right warmth to it.
