Follow these simple steps to make your delectable Brown Sugar Chai Cake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and packed brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves), and salt until well combined.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Divide Batter: Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans.
7. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in their pans for about 15 minutes. After that, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
9. Prepare for Serving: Once cooled, feel free to frost or dust with powdered sugar for added flair.
