Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cloves
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal after baking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the almond flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, and all the chai spices to the wet mixture. Mix until everything is just combined, forming a thick batter.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a cozy treat.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with any dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
- Use coconut oil or unsalted butter according to your dietary preference.
- Ensure the almond flour is finely ground for a better cake texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of chai tea or coffee for added warmth.
