Is there anything more fabulous for the in-bed-by-8:30 pm girls than a sleepy time snacking cake inspired by a cup of chamomile tea with milk and honey? Be right back, adding a slice of this cake to my night time routine!

It’s exceptionally moist, light and honestly… just sweet enough. I imagined a cake that would be enjoyed with a cup of sleepy time tea (or chamomile tea) as part of a wind down moment in the evening, once you’re in your pajamas, skin care done and all that’s left to do is get tucked into bed and enjoy a chamomile, milk and honey cake.

The batter is built off brown butter (duh), malt milk powder, cardamom and cinnamon while the frosting is essentially a cloud of milk and honey. It’s soft, ethereal and dreamy. I hope a slice of this cake relaxes your nervous system and encourages sweet dreams. xoxo
