Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Flourless Chai Spice Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, and 1/3 cup of honey or maple syrup until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil and 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups of almond flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and the spices: 2 tsp of ground cinnamon, 1 tsp of ground cardamom, 1 tsp of ground ginger, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp of cloves. Stir until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally dusting with powdered sugar or drizzling with honey.
