Black Tea Scented Decoration Cake

I made this for my own birthday! I love tea cake, so I used my favorite earl grey tea for the sponge cake and for the cream. Top it off by placing the tea-soaked prunes on top!

The heavy cream will become difficult to mix if you add in water, so please whip it well before adding in the tea mixture. Please mill the tea leaves that will go into the mill as finely as possible. Recipe by Yukirinrin

Ingredients

  1. Sponge Cake (Recipe ID: 237164):
  2. 6Eggs
  3. 150 gramsGranulated sugar
  4. 120 gramsCake flour
  5. 40 gramsCornstarch
  6. 70 gramsButter
  7. 2 tbspBlack tea leaves
  8. Tea Cream:
  9. 500 gramsHeavy cream
  10. 50 gramsGranulated sugar
  11. 3 tbspBlack tea leaves
  12. 1Tea-soaked prunes
  13. 1Granulated sugar (or Yuzu jam)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Bake thesponge cake. Finely break up the tea leaves in a mill etc., and please mix it into the batter before adding in the butter.

  2. 2

    Make the tea cream. Use a mill etc to finely break up 1/2 tablespoon of tea leaves, add the remaining leaves to 80ml hot water, let steam until it cools to make a rich tea liquid, pass it through a tea strainer etc., and let cool in the fridge. The tea liquid will cloud up when chilled, but you don't have to worry about it.

  3. 3

    Add in the heavy cream and granulated sugar, whip on high speed, add in the tea liquid and the tea leaves last, and whip some more to turn it into a proper cream.

  4. 4

    After the baked sponge cake has cooled completely, cut into 2 slices, sandwich 1/3 of the cream in-between, completely cover with half of the remaining cream, and decorate with the remaining cream using a pastry bag.

  5. 5

    I tried topping it with tea prunesand yuzu tea. Please decorate it with whatever ingredients you like.
