3.2 Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices (cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg), and salt. This ensures even distribution of the chai spices and leavening agents.

Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped nuts for extra texture. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Use a nonstick cookware set like the CAROTE Premium 16pc Nonstick Cookware Set for easy baking and cleanup.
