Earl Grey Tea Infused Mug Cake
Welcome to another delicious experiment from my kitchen! Today, I’m thrilled to share a unique twist on a classic treat: the Earl Grey Tea Infused Mug Cake. This recipe combines the aromatic flavors of Earl Grey tea with the simplicity and quick satisfaction of a mug cake. Perfect for those cozy evenings or when you need a quick dessert fix!
Why Earl Grey?
I chose Earl Grey for this recipe because its distinct flavor of bergamot orange adds a sophisticated twist to the humble mug cake. Not only does it elevate the flavor profile, but it also infuses a lovely aroma that makes the cake even more irresistible.

- Remove the tea bag, making sure to squeeze out any excess milk back into the mug.
- Add the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract to the infused milk and stir well.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the mug, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
