Earl Grey Cake

I came up with this idea sort of on a whim hoping to make a fun and creative cake flavor for my friend's wedding. It wasn't THE wedding cake, though, it was one of SIX cakes at the wedding. The second it cooled down I sliced off the top to taste it and I was SO happy. I really could have eaten the whole cake, plain, straight from the oven. Then my lovely friend Becca from Happily the Hicks asked me to collaborate with her with Lavender as the theme. Thankfully I’d just made this cake and had planned to top it with Honey Lavender Buttercream. Basically the stars aligned. Becca and I (aka #happilythemartinez) have made pure spring bliss and put it here and here to share with you. Obviously if you hate Earl Grey tea then this probably isn't the cake for you. But if you're looking to make a fun easy cake that will make you feel so fancy for saying you made it, then here we go. Let's make Earl Grey Cake together...
Preheat your oven to 350 and prep two 8 inch cake pans the same way...

Coat it with butter

And line it with parchment paper. This is THE ONLY way I've ever successfully gotten a cake clean out of the cake pan.

Next we'll put all of our dry ingredients into a bowl: 2 cups of sugar, 2 1/2 cups flour, 3 tsp Baking Soda, and 1 tsp salt.
Picture
the last dry ingredient we will be adding is tea. 
Picture
Rip open an earl grey tea bag. If the leaves look too big to you then you can quickly chop them with a knife, other wise just leave them as is and toss them in.
Picture
Picture
Whisk everything together and set aside.
Picture
In a large bowl pour in your wet ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup oil, and 1 teaspoon Vanilla.
Picture
whisk it up.
Picture
Pile your dry ingredients on top and whisk them in.
Picture
Picture
Last step, Pour in 1 cup of brewed and cooled (just not hot) Earl Grey Tea. Whisk it in gently but fully.
Picture
Picture
Pour as evenly as possible in the two cake pans.
Picture
Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the cake has no wobble.
Picture
Let them cool in their pans for 15 minutes.
Picture
Then pop them out, cover them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in the fridge until they're cool enough to frost (you can keep them in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for 3 months)
Picture
Picture
when you're ready, unwrap them and layer them with Honey Lavender Buttercream! I cut my layers in half so that I could have 4 layers.

make sure you check Becca’s site so you can see
1. How much better she makes this cake took than I do and
​2. Learn how to make a latte that pairs perfectly with this cake.

I love eating cake, that is something that I will not deny. People think that I have a serious problem, and I agree with them. I do not even know when I started loving cake, but I am seriously in love with it. I cannot go a week without eating a slice of cake. If there are cakes that I have yet to discover, then that will surprise me. I love eating cake, I love it so much, I cannot help myself.
