Perfecting black tea cake recipes

Black tea cake recipes are a little tricky as the flavor of tea might end up overpowering the entire dish if the tea mixture is not made well. Or probably, you can end up not experiencing the taste of tea at all- which, by the way, is such a downer. If you don’t want either of these things to happen with this beautiful and moist lemon and black tea cake, you need to be careful with the ingredients of the recipe, but more so with the measurements of the ingredients of this lemon and black tea cake.

The recipe calls for you to use half a cup of milk and two teabags of black tea. Be aware that you certainly can not play around with the tea measurements because of the aforementioned reasons. If you just follow the recipe well, you can certainly get the ideal lemon and black tea cake. In case you’re a beginner and you wish to learn baking in a more comprehensive way, you can check out the Baking Tips for Beginners blog on the website!
