EARL GREY CAKE ☕️ 🎂 the magic of steeping t EARL GREY CAKE ☕️ 🎂 the magic of steeping the tea leaves AND adding some loose leaf Earl Grey tea into the cake batter gives these layers such incredible, authentic flavor. The ingredients list is below + the full instructions can be found in the “London Fog Cake” link in my bio or at sugarandsparrow.com/london-fog-cake-recipe/⁣

EARL GREY CAKE⁣
2 3/4 Cups (290g) sifted cake flour⁣
2 tsp baking powder⁣
1/2 tsp baking soda⁣
1 tsp Earl Grey tea, finely ground⁣
1/2 tsp salt⁣

*the London Fog cake recipe on my blog lists more milk because part of it is used for the buttercream. If you’re not making the Earl Grey buttercream to pair these cake layers with go with this smaller amount of milk 🥛⁣

Brown Butter Frosting⁣⁣
Yield: 3 Cups ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Ingredients: ⁣⁣
1 Cups (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature, divided⁣⁣
1 tsp pure vanilla extract⁣⁣
3 1/2 Cups (420g) powdered sugar⁣⁣
2 Tbsp whole milk, room temperature⁣⁣
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Instructions: ⁣⁣
1. Brown the butter: Add 1/2 Cup of the unsalted butter into a large frying pan and cook over medium heat until the butter melts, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly. The melted butter will start to foam on top, then will turn light brown in color and smell deliciously nutty. Remove from heat at this point and transfer to a glass container. ⁣⁣
2. Cool the brown butter to room temp for about 2 hours on your counter or place it into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. It should be completely room temperature and thick (about the consistency of a thick caramel) before continuing on with the buttercream recipe.⁣⁣
3. Cream the other 1/2 Cup of unsalted butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 5 minutes on med-high, until creamy and light in color.⁣⁣
4. Add the cooled brown butter and vanilla and mix on medium speed until uniform. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the powdered sugar a few cups at a time, scraping down the bowl and paddle after mixing in each addition. Add the milk and salt and continue mixing on low speed until smooth.⁣⁣⁣

A realistic baking session with my 3 year old 🍪 A realistic baking session with my 3 year old 🍪 it is a mess and requires a fair amount of patience BUT seeing how much he loves to learn + bonding with him while we bake together is worth it ALL! He genuinely loves to be involved in the kitchen which makes it even more fun. Plus we get to enjoy our bakes afterwards so that’s a win win win win👏🏽⁣
