Chai Spiced Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (softened)

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350F
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl.
Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Fold in the pumpkin puree and the milky tea
(make sure the tea has completely cooled before adding)
In another bowl mix together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Then add all the spices to this.
Add the flour mixture into the pumpkin mix.
Fold until just combined.
Grease a loaf pan and pour the mixture in.
Bake for 55-60 minutes at 350F
Allow to rest and cool on a rack.
Serve slightly warm and buttered, maybe with a nice cup of hot chai!
