Earl Grey Blueberry Cake
Posted by SALINA - TEAS.COM.AU
A zingy cupcake with refreshing Earl Grey tea to "lighten" the load a bit. A great afternoon treat with, yes, a cup of Earl Grey Ceylon tea of course :)
- 2 tbsp Earl Grey tea
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 30g unsalted butter
- 60g raw sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup greek yogurt
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1½ cups self raising flour
- 1 cup / 1 punnet blueberries
- ½ cup icing sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp yoghurt
- Preheat the oven to 170º F
- Place tea leaves in #Thermocook and add 1/2 cup of boiling water. Put on QUICK SOUP 10 seconds.
- Then let it steep for 10 minutes.
- Add butter.
- Add sugar, eggs, lemon juice, yogurt and lemon zest.
- Add self raising flour and mix using STIR setting in Thermocook for 10 seconds.
- Fold in the blueberries.
- Line your loaf pan with parchment paper (or use silicon baking tins like we do!), pour in the batter and bake for 10-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, and then turn onto a wire rack.
- While cooling, pour the icing sugar into a small bowl and slowly stir in lemon juice until you achieve a thick, pourable mixture (it doesn't take much lemon juice at all). Pour overtop your warm cake and let cool completely.
