Gluten Free Earl Grey Cake
Plenty of fragrant orange zest and tea leaves infuse this gluten free Earl Grey tea cake with bright flavor. This unique cake needs just two gluten-free flours plus a few other simple ingredients to make.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pan
- 1 ½ cups oat flour 160 grams
- ½ cup almond flour 50 grams
- 1 tablespoon loose Earl Grey tea
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest from 1 large orange
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- ½ cup whole milk at room temperature
Instructions
- Grease a loaf pan or 8-inch round cake pan with butter and line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat and almond flour, tea leaves, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, rub the orange zest into the sugar until the oils release into the sugar. Then beat in the butter and continue beating on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the flour and milk in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Let the batter rest while the oven heats.
- Place in the oven and bake just until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 40-45 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for about 15 minutes then turn the cake out onto the rack to cool completely.
