Masala Tea Cake

 

1/4 cup light butter, room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener

1 egg

2 cup apples, Well Chopped

2 tsp masala spice mixture

1 cup white all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

 

 

 

Preheat oven to 350

In a bowl, beat together the margarine, sugar, splenda, vanilla, and egg. Stir

in the apples.

In a second bowl, sift all the dry ingredients together. Add the dry ingredients

to the moist, and mix thoroughly into a dough.

Turn the dough into a greased(baking spray w/flour) 8-inch square pan, and bake

for 45 min. (I check the cake sooner. At about 30-35 min.)

Cool in the pan for 15 min., then turn cake out onto a rack to cool completely.

 

 

Masala Spice Mixture

2 Tbsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp ground cloves

2 Tbsp ground cardamom

2 Tbsp ground ginger, powdered

1 Tbsp Ground black pepper

 

Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Store in a tightly lidded glass jar in a cool,

dark place. Makes 1/4 cup.

" This is a delicious, simple & VERY LOW IN POINTS chai spiced apple cake that I

have lightened up a bit and is wonderful. I made it with light butter, but I am

thinking unsweetened applesauce would work just as well, though I have yet to

try it that way. I also replaced half the sugar with Splenda and my DH did not

even notice.

 

I found all the spices for the masala mixture at my local health food store. The

spice mixture can also be used to make an amazing & fragrant cup of chai tea. "
