Earl Grey Tea Yogurt Cake
This Earl Grey tea yogurt cake is incredibly moist, lightly fragrant with bergamot, and has a lovely tang from whole-milk yogurt. Adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe by Molly Baz, it uses loose-leaf Earl Grey steeped right into the batter for a subtle, aromatic flavor that is sophisticated without being overwhelming. A beautiful everyday cake. Also try my Earl Grey Scones, Earl Grey Cupcakes, or Strawberry Yogurt Loaf Cake.
