Earl Grey Tea Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

2. 2

   Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and steep the Earl Grey tea bags in the milk for about 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the milk cool.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. 4

   Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.

5. 5

   In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

6. 6

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the cooled tea-infused milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

9. 9

   Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
