Info
Make this classic Earl Grey Loaf Cake using our organic Coconut Sugar and probiotic rich Organic Kefir. This lightly floral loaf is a dream match for that much needed cup of tea…fancy a brew anyone?
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tbsp. earl grey tea in a mesh strainer (tea bags work too) 3 tbsp. earl grey tea, ground
400g vegan butter/baking spread
500g Biona Organic Coconut sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
340g kefir
Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp Biona Organic agave
1 tsp ground up lavender
1-2 tbsp plant based milk
Method
- Prepare beforehand: Infuse the kefir with the earl grey by making an extremely strong cup of tea, leaving it to steep for 15 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of tea into the kefir, mix and leave.
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease loaf tin and dust with flour.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground up tea.
- Cream together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add in extract and beat until well incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in eggs, one at a time, making sure it is well incorporated after each addition.
- Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and mix. Add in 1/2 of kefir and mix. Add in another 1/3 of flour. Add in remaining ½ of kefir. Then, add in the remaining amount of flour. After each addition, mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Pour batter evenly into the pan. Lightly tap it against a surface to remove any air bubbles.
