Step 1

To make the masala chai we start by brewing the tea powder in water, milk and spices. Let this come to a boil and reduce the heat. Allow to simmer for a few minutes until you can smell the chai. Take off the heat and allow to cool.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 180℃, line a 9 inch round with baking paper and set aside. In a large mixing bowl add the melted butter/browned butter, sugar, grated ginger and mix with a whisk.

Step 3

Add the eggs and mix until smooth. Add the chai (either strained or with the tea powder - I like to add half the tea powder mixture into the cake) and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and stir together. Pour the cake batter into the prepared tin and bake for 38-40 mins.

Step 5

Let it cool down, dust with cardamom mixed into icing sugar and slice.
