Ingredients
-
5 grams
Earl grey tea leaves
-
230 milliliters
Unsweetened plain oat milk
-
250 grams
All purpose flour
-
1.5 teaspoons
Baking powder
-
70 grams
Cane sugar
-
80 milliliters
Canola oil
-
1.5 teaspoons
Vanilla extract
-
Powdered sugar, to dust
Directions
-
Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease or line a 20cm diameter round cake pan
-
Add the tea leaves and oat milk to a small sauce pan on medium heat to make the tea latte. Let it simmer (but do not boil) while stirring from the bottom with a silicone or wooden spatula until the oat milk is a light brown color (like coffee with cream or Pantone 480 C (I'm so sorry)). Set aside
-
Mix together the flour, baking powder, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the oil and vanilla extract. Add the oat milk tea to the wet mixture, straining the tea leaves with a fine mesh sieve
-
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring with a whisk. Towards the end the batter will become quite thick so use a spatula to incorporate the remaining flour
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Let cool on a wire cooling rack but cover it lightly with cling film when it is still slightly warm to prevent drying. Dust with powdered sugar before serving
