Chai-spiced apple cake<\/strong> is an easy apple cake that you can eat any day and anytime made a touch extravagant with homemade chai masala<\/a>. Warm and cozy, this cake comes together so easily you'll want to make it every week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As fall rolls around, an abundance of apples makes me want to bake. And this chai apple cake is just what I've been dreaming of. The chai spice enlivens the flavors of the cake and turns it delightfully aromatic. The thick caramel sauce drizzled on top takes the decadence up a notch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you enjoy the cozy, warm flavors of chai spices, you will love my masala chai tiramisu <\/a>and chai-spiced chocolate truffles<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flour:<\/strong> I used a mix of whole-wheat flour and all-purpose flour. You can use just one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apples:<\/strong> I used a mix of a local variety, Kinnaur and Granny Smith. Use any you prefer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chai masala:<\/strong> You can use my homemade chai masala recipe<\/a> to make it or use a store-bought one. In case you\u2019re short on time and spices, replace it with nutmeg and cinnamon powder. Both spices pair with apples exceptionally well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil:<\/strong> As always, you can switch coconut oil with any neutral-tasting oil. Even olive oil will work like a charm as it did for my vegan apple crumble cake<\/a>. Melted butter will do well here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yogurt:<\/strong> You can replace the coconut yogurt with plain Greek yogurt or a homemade option. When using the latter, remember to drain all excess moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> I used raw sugar, but regular white sugar goes well too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
