Name: Chai-Spiced Honey Bundt Cakes

Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour; 1 1/2 cups (packed) golden brown sugar; 2 teaspoons baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 3/4 cups hot water; 1 cup instant chai tea powder*; 1/2 cup honey; 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted; 1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature; 2 large eggs; 1 large egg yolk; Vanilla ice cream; Spiced Syrup

Steve Mosel of Bremerton, Washington, writes: "I was in Minneapolis last month for a family wedding and stayed at the Radisson hotel downtown. I'm very rarely impressed by hotel restaurants, but the meal I had at FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar was really wonderful. The Bundt cake I ordered was one of the best desserts I've had outside of my mother's kitchen."

Although the recipe calls for baking the cakes in mini Bundt pans, large muffin pans work equally well.
