Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup honey plus 1 tbsp
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 tablespoon cinnamon plus 1tbsp for the compote
  • 2 teaspoon ginger
  • 2 teaspoon cardamon
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 small apple sliced
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • cup slivered or sliced almonds
  • Vanilla ice cream optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar and honey until well combined and smooth.
  • Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing in between each addition, and scrape the sides of the bowl if needed.
  • Mix in the baking powder, baking soda, salt and chai spices.
  • Stir in the flour one cup at a time, mixing gently as to not over-mix. Stir in the sour cream or yogurt and vanilla till combined, scraping the sides as needed.
  • Grease a 9" bundt pan or loaf pan and scoop the batter into the pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes, till a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove and let cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan.
  • To make the compote, simply warm butter in a saute pan over medium heat and add the sliced apples. Stir in 1 tablespoon cinammon, the honey and the almonds, cooking over medium-low heat until apples are warm and soft but still slightly crisp.
  • Slice cake and spoon compote and vanilla ice cream on top.
