In reply to J M. Hi, JM-- this is a denser cake as it has lots of texture in it with the flax. But thanks for giving it a try and sharing your feedback :)

This was a pretty dense cake. I might have also overbaked it a tad. My partner liked it fine but I might mess with it a bit to fit our tastes a little more. It’s definitely a warm and spice-filled cake. Not too sweet!

It was tasty but dense. I preferred it cold from the fridge

In reply to Karen Gotto. Hi, Karen! This will make about 12 cupcakes, and I'd aim for about 12-15 minutes for the cupcakes, though this is just a guess! Let me know if you try it :)

Hello! I love this recipe – so much that I’d love it in cupcake form, too. Has anyone tried this, and if so, can you estimate the yield and baking time? Thank you!

Not personally to my taste, but my family really liked it and I had fun practising my baking skills. Would definitely recommend!

In reply to Sadat. Hi, Sadat-- I'd try using 1.5 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 0.5 Tablespoons each ground cardamom and ginger, 2 teaspoons each ground allspice, cloves, nutmeg. This should give you about 1 ounce of spices which is the equivalent of 1 ounce of a tea bag. I'm putting it on the record that I have not tried this, but this would be my suggestion!

Hii Lynn,

We don’t have chai teabags. Any advice for making our own spices for chai in the milk.

I made it 🙂
I made this cake for a small Indian gathering. Every one loved it.
I also was not sure about the flax meal amount like someone mentioned, 3/4 cup is not weighing to 112grams even if I press it like brown sugar. I went with 112 grams weight.
one things I noticed and I was bit concerned, when I poured my Tea milk, which was at room temp, the egg and butter mixer curdled up and would not become smooth, I went ahead and mixed my dried ingredients anyway, worked out okay. Also my cake had a good size crack but it got covered with the frosting 🙂
we Indian use Tea masala which is blend of Cinnamon, cloves, Cardamom, nutmeg, black pepper etc…
will make it again, thanks.
Wanted to post some pics here but don’t see I can.
