I'm not a fan of nuts in baked goods, so I omitted them from this recipe. The tea cakes still turned out delicious and moist. I'll definitely be making them again.

These tea cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the batter. However, the flavor was still good and I liked the addition of spices.
