- Sift the flour, chai spice, cinnamon, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Gently fold into the egg mixture, then fold in the cooled melted butter by hand until thick and glossy.
- Cover the batter airtight and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the pans with melted butter, baking in batches if needed.
- Scoop 1½ tablespoons of batter into each mold and press the edges into the mold with a greased finger. The batter should be thick, like cookie dough.
- Bake for 4 minutes, then lower the oven to 330°F (165°C) and bake 8 to 10 minutes until domed in the centre and set at the edges.
- Cool on a wire rack. Melt the white chocolate wafers following the package directions, then stir in the chai spice and cinnamon if using.
- Pour 1 teaspoon of the chai coating into each mold, press the cake into it, and refrigerate for 1 hour until set.
