I am suffering from flu these few days... But just could not stay in bed... Always think of baking and am always looking out for new recipes...Today, I chose a recipe (from my new baking book) that seems least 'weird' to me... I have to admit, I am not very adventurous when it comes to food/taste... So I usually bake cakes that I think I will eat... But since most of the recipes in this book are green tea and black sesame recipes... I decided to try something less "adventurous"... Earl Grey Tea cake... Found it abit weird that the recipe asked for earl grey tea dust to be mixed with the batter... But anyway, I did what the recipe called for... but my usual practice is to add lesser sugar than what was required... Lemon zest was also added to the batter... It gave the cake a nice lemony aroma...
My helper and me like it... and it goes really well with a nice hot cuppa tea... what a nice relaxing (but HUMID) afternoon... I gave the rest of the cake to my cousin Mag and she brought it to office... She and her colleagues love it... They were the only ones who could taste the earl grey... Lyn and myself could only smell and taste Lemon... haha... Is it just us or what... oh well, Glad they all like it!
