An elegant and fragrant London Fog cake infused with Earl Grey tea, vanilla, and citrus, layered with light whipped cream for a delicate and comforting dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Earl Grey tea bags
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line cake pans.
  2. Warm the milk and steep the Earl Grey tea bags for 5–10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in vanilla extract and orange zest.
  7. Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with the infused milk, mixing until just combined.
  8. Divide batter evenly into pans and bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool cakes completely before frosting.
  10. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and a bit of vanilla until soft peaks form.
  11. Assemble the cake by layering whipped cream between layers and spreading on top.
  12. Decorate with powdered sugar or extra orange zest if desired.

Notes

  • Steeping tea longer enhances the flavor.
  • Use loose-leaf Earl Grey tea as an alternative to tea bags.
  • Buttercream frosting can replace whipped cream for a richer cake.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze unfrosted cake layers for longer storage.
