About this recipe

Who wouldve thought cake could taste like your faveroutie cuppa? Well my Blackberry, Earl Grey Strusel Cake is the perfect winter dessert. I can imagine this paired with some warm custard would be amazing.

Ingredients

Blackberry

  • 150g blackberry
  • 10g flour

Streusel

  • 65g granulated sugar
  • 80g plain flour
  • 45g unsalted butter, melted


Cake

  • 180g self raising flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 50g softened unsalted butter
  • 50ml vegetable oil
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 120ml whole milk
  • 3 earl grey tea bags (to be infused)
  • ½ earl grey tea bag

Ingredients

Instructions

For the Streusel Topping:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, flour and melted butter
  2. Using a fork, incorporate the butter into the dry mixture until a crumbly texture forms. (The mixture should clump together when squeezed, but crumble easily).
  3. Set aside.

For the Blackberries:

  1. In a small bowl add  your blackberries and flour then mix together. (flour helps to prevent your fruit from sinking).
  2. Set aside.

For the Cake:

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
  2. Heat up your milk with 3 teabags until the milk goes brown and then allow to cool.
  3. Butter and flour in a  9-inch square or circle baking pan.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, oil and sugar until a smooth paste.
  5. Add your eggs, vanilla essence and infused milk and mix together, your mixture will be very liquidy but don't worry this will ensure a fluffy cake!
  6. Sift in your flour, salt and baking powder then whisk with the wet mixture until combined.
  7. In your prepared baking pan add your cake mixture and top with your streusel and blueberries.
  8. Bake your cake your 45-55 minutes or until a skewer come out clean, make sure not to open your oven for the first 30 minutes or your cake might deflate!
  9. Enjoy :)
