Preheat your oven to 180C. Grease an 8" cake tin well.
In a large bowl, sift together the wholewheat and all-purpose flours, baking powder, baking soda, chai masala, and salt.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Don't over mix the batter.
Fold in the grated apple.
Pour into the prepared pan. Level the top and arrange the apple slices on top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is lightly browned and springy to touch.
Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before turning out on a cooling rack.
Let the cake cool completely before drizzling over the caramel sauce, if using.
Cut into slices and serve. Enjoy!
