Ingredients
  

  • 32 oz. cream cheese room temperature
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 bags Chai tea
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Bring cream to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat. Stir in the tea bags. Let steep 15-20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Double line a 9" springform pan with parchment. Make sure the parchment goes up the sides of the pan too.
  • Beat cream cheese and sugar together in a stand mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  • Lower the speed. Beat in the cream, salt and vanilla until combined.
  • Turn off the mixer. Sift in the flour, then beat on low speed, scraping down the sides until very smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake 1 hour. The cake will still be jiggly. Let it cool completely before unmolding. Serve at room temperature.
