This is a delightful cake. I made it with cream cheese frosting with a vanilla bean added, but your preference of vanilla frosting would be fine too.
Ingredients:
2/3c milk
4 early grey tea bags
2 whole eggs, plus 1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1.25c + 2Tbs cake flour (160g)
1c sugar
2.25tsp baking powder
1/4tsp salt
1/2c butter, room temp
blue or purple food coloring, if desired
Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line two 8" round cake pans with parchment paper. Grease and flour.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk until simmering. Remove from heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and allow the milk to cool completely.
Whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the butter and cooled milk to the dry ingredients. Beat on low until well-blended. Raise the speed to medium and beat for another minute.
Add the egg/vanilla mixture in three additions, beating well after each addition. If desired, beat in food coloring.
Divide the batter between the two pans and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool completely.
