  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cake flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 Earl Grey tea bags
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and dust with flour.
  2. In a saucepan, warm the milk over low heat and steep the Earl Grey tea bags for about 10 minutes; remove bags and let cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time and incorporate the cooled infused milk; mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—be careful not to overmix!
  6. Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and springy to touch; let cool completely before frosting.
  7. For frosting, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until peaks form; add vanilla extract and mix well. Frost cooled cakes generously and serve with fresh berries if desired.
