Summertime means it’s time to fire up the grill and serve up something unexpected. These are not your average vegetable kabobs; they are packed with flavors like sumac, spearmint and urfa biber chile flakes.

This cake is made with a variety of warming spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. All of these spices create a flavor profile similar to chai, while enhancing the natural sweetness of the carrots, and bringing out the notes of caramel in the brown butter cream cheese frosting.
