Pass token in header for authentication in MVC and Web API

Integrating MVC app with Web API, Azure Users Authentication is done using OWIN, Want to remove authentication cookie and pass token in header for api call. how to do it? I use MSAL.cs file for Azure AD authentication. Want to pass token in api call header. first load MVC application page, after authentication call web api methods.
I used following code for azure AD autherization,

 private async Task OnAuthorizationCodeReceived(AuthorizationCodeReceivedNotification notification)
            {
                // Extract the code from the response notification
                var code = notification.Code;

                string signedInUserID = notification.AuthenticationTicket.Identity.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value;
                TokenCache userTokenCache = new MSALSessionCache(signedInUserID, notification.OwinContext.Environment["System.Web.HttpContextBase"] as HttpContextBase).GetMsalCacheInstance();
                ConfidentialClientApplication cca = new ConfidentialClientApplication(ClientId, Authority, RedirectUri, new ClientCredential(ClientSecret), userTokenCache, null);
                try
                {
                    AuthenticationResult result = await cca.AcquireTokenByAuthorizationCodeAsync(code, Scopes);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    //TODO: Handle
                    throw;
                }
            }
