About this recipe
Who would've thought cake could taste like your favourite 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:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, flour and melted butter
- 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).
- Set aside.
For the Blackberries:
- In a small bowl add your blackberries and flour then mix together. (flour helps to prevent your fruit from sinking).
- Set aside.
For the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 170°C.
- Heat up your milk with 3 teabags until the milk goes brown and then allow to cool.
- Butter and flour in a 9-inch square or circle baking pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, oil and sugar until a smooth paste.
- 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!
- Sift in your flour, salt and baking powder then whisk with the wet mixture until combined.
- In your prepared baking pan add your cake mixture and top with your streusel and blueberries.
- 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!
- Enjoy :)
