Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the maple syrup and lemon zest, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted self-raising flour and ground almonds. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Remove the tea bags and return the tea to medium heat. Add ½ cup of granulated sugar, stirring until fully dissolved. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Slowly pour the Earl Grey syrup over the cake, ensuring even coverage and allowing the syrup to soak in. Let the cake sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the syrup fully.
- Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your Caramel Citrus Cake with the luxurious Earl Grey syrup!
Tips:
- Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking, as this helps with even mixing.
- When zesting lemons, be careful to avoid the white pith, as it can be bitter and affect the flavor of the cake.
- To enhance the flavor, you can lightly toast the almonds before adding them to the batter.
- For an extra moist cake, consider brushing some additional earl grey syrup on the cake layers as it cools.
- If you prefer a stronger tea flavor, steep the earl grey tea in hot water for a few additional minutes before using the syrup.
Congratulations! You've successfully created a delicious Caramel Citrus Cake with Earl Grey Syrup. The harmonious blend of caramel, citrus, and tea creates a unique and memorable flavor experience. Enjoy your homemade treat with family and friends, and savor every bite.
