Why These Ingredients?
The cayenne pepper not only adds a unique spicy kick to the cake but also offers metabolism-boosting properties. Cinnamon, on the other hand, brings its warm, comforting aroma and also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Tips and Variations
For a vegan version, substitute the milk with almond or coconut milk and use a plant-based oil. If you’re not into spice, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper. You can also add a tablespoon of peanut butter for a nutty flavor twist!
