Recipe: Tasty Earl Grey Tea Pound Cake Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Earl Grey Tea Pound Cake. This Earl Grey tea cake is almost as dense as a pound cake and so flavourful, soft, and moist with hints of lemon and honey. This Early Grey pound cake is refreshing, different, and a perfect companion to a cup of hot tea. It's such a lovely flavor for a buttery pound cake and when combined with a little orange zest it definitely makes this cake otherworldly.

Thanks so much for your perfect recipe! ️ ️ ️👍👍👍 EARL GREY POUND CAKE.

The caramelized or burnt honey in the cake gives it a deep amber color and toffee like flavor.

The ideal tea to complement this flavors in this honey cake is Early Grey because of its wondrous bergamot aroma, however you can use other black teas that have a fragrant citrusy or floral note.

I used a Lady Grey Earl Grey tea for this cake, which has hints of lavender and bergamot orange…so good. (Lady Grey tea is Earl Grey tea with the addition of lavender) Steeped in whole milk, and added to my basic vanilla pound cake recipe, this cake is divine.

Earl Grey Tea Pound Cake step by step

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C) degrees.

Spray Bundt pan with baking spray and distribute well with a pastry brush. (If using Nordicware). I use the mini silicone bundt so that it’s not necessary to spray. This recipe is made for 1 mini bundt pan and 2 small pans like I did. You can use normal bundt pan (10 cups capacity or loaf pan by double the recipe).

  1. Mix orange zest with sugar to kick up the flavor for 10 minutes..

  2. Warm ½ cup of milk in a sauce pan. Add 3 Earl Gray tea bags. Allow it to steep for 5-7 minutes. Discard bags and allow milk to cool..

  3. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder and set aside..

  4. Cream together butter and sugar until very light and fluffy. Add the eggs to the butter mixture, 1 by 1. Then add the flour mixture to the batter in thirds, alternating with the Earl Gray mixture. just until combined, being careful not to over mix! (or your cake will be tough)..

  5. Using small ice scoop to pour in molds. Tap the molds to release air bubbles..

  6. Bake 20 mins until a toothpick comes out clean. Once cooled, reverse molds and cakes onto a cooling rack. Dust with powdered sugar..

  7. Served with Earl Grey Tea!.

A tea cake that's true to its name, this loaf harnesses the power of citrusy Earl Grey tea for its distinct flavor.

Lemon poppyseed can't hold a candle.

Because high quality loose-leaf tea is.

Beside green tea (matcha) is commonly used in baking, I've been noticed Earl Grey is another popular tea is being used.

This is my first time using it for baking, and very happy with this pound cake recipe.
