Ingredients

Scale

2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour

2 ½ teaspoons of baking powder

½ teaspoon of salt

1 cup of unsalted butter, softened

2 cups of granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract

1 cup of whole milk

2 tablespoons of loose Earl Grey tea (or 4 tea bags)

1 cup of heavy cream (for frosting)

2 cups of powdered sugar (for frosting)

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (for frosting)

Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for a zesty kick)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans.

In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm but not boiling. Add the loose Earl Grey tea and let steep for about 10-15 minutes. Strain the tea out and let the milk cool.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the infused milk, starting and finishing with dry ingredients. Mix gently to avoid overmixing.

Divide the batter amongst the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.

Assemble the cake by layering frosting between the cake layers and covering the top and sides with remaining frosting.

Decorate with lemon zest or edible flowers, if desired.

Notes

A delicious and unique cake infused with Earl Grey tea and topped with creamy frosting, perfect for any occasion.
