Chai Tea Cake !!



When I created my first Biscotti it was Chai Tea flavor, inspired by a cookie I had. I absolutely love the flavor of Chai!!!!! Been thinking of a way to make this flavor Gluten-Dairy-Egg free into a cake. I woke up this morning and just dove into my kitchen! It is not easy creating your own recipes by scratch, but I love the thrill of experimenting !! It came out so moist and delicious I had to share this one right away!!!!!!!! here it is!!
