Vegan Chocolate Chai Cake

It's not even my birthday! Chocolate cake with Banana Chai Tea Ice Cream!

Dessert time has never been better.
I used to go to a coffeehouse that had this amazing Chocolate Chai Milkshake. Just big gigantic scoops of vanilla ice cream with chai concentrate and chocolate syrup topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. Talk about a huge calorie and fat machine, especially seeing as it came in only one size for $5! Wow!
I recreated that addictive flavor in a delicate, delicious, cruelty free cake format.
With signature basic chocolate cake amped with one of my favorite beverages- Bolthouse Farms Vanilla Chai Tea, it appears to be a match as wonderful as chocolate and peanut butter bliss. Warm, fragrant, moist, and inviting to both awakened nostrils and mouth watered tongue, this is the kind of cake chocoholics like me could indulge in over and over again ( you know like one small slice a day) sans the monstrous affects that Chocolate Chai Shake surely cost.
However, I only feel that familiar guilt if eating cake with ice cream... ahem.
