TEA MASALA CAKE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

Flour 400grams
Baking Powder 18grams
Unsalted Butter 230 grams
White Sugar 450grams
Vanilla Essence 15 ml
Egg Whites 210grams
Concentrated Milk Tea 240 ml (8 tea bags in 450 ml hot milk)
Cardamom 1 teaspoon
Cinnamon 1 teaspoon
Ginger 1 teaspoon
Cloves ½ teaspoon

Note:
Wash your hands with soap and warm water. Clean your oven with a damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water. Now set the heat to 200*C to preheat. Grease a clean and round 8-inch baking tin then line with parchment paper at the bottom & put aside. Measure out your ingredients carefully and precisely.

METHOD

STEP 1
In a clean metallic bowl, sift the dry ingredients together and set aside.

STEP 2
In a clean mixing bowl, cream the margarine with sugar until light a fluffy, approximately 5 minutes on high speed.

STEP 3
In a medium bowl combine the egg whites, tea and vanilla extract together and reserve.

STEP 4
Once the butter and sugar have been creamed sufficiently, you will add in about ⅓ of the flour mixture with the mixer on very low speed. Once the dry has been incorporated on medium speed, you will now begin to add in half of the liquid ingredients slowly while continuing to mix on low speed. Stop the mixer to scrape down the sides of your bowl to ensure you are always incorporating the ingredients evenly. Once the liquid has been absorbed, you will now go back to your dry ingredients with another addition, repeat with the remaining liquid in the same fashion, and then the last addition of dry ingredients until you have mixed in all the ingredients to a smooth batter.

STEP 5
Pour immediately into prepared baking tin insert into the middle of the oven, reduce the heat to 180*C and bake for approximately 35 to 45 minutes or until baked. Let it cool completely in the baking tin.

STEP 5
Ice with fresh cream & serve!
