     Picture it: there I was, planted in front of the computer screen, already with two dessert ideas for Cinnamon Week, when, LO! And behold! Leave it to a Kitchen Psycho to come up with her own idea! I thought of Chai, and all the wonderful spices that are incorporated into that lovely Eastern drink. Nutmeg, clove, cinnamon. YES. 
     So, as has become my custom when I think I have invented a new dish, I search the internet to see who beat me to it. I found only one recipe that fit my precise idea, then I made an icing for it, and believe you me, the icing really does make the cake! Or bread, in this case. This one smells absolutely GORGEOUS as it bakes!
