london fog

Classic bergamot earl grey flavor, married with sweet white chocolate, and digestive biscuit crumbs to finish it all off.

London Fog Cookies

digestive biscuit flour

earl grey tea leaves (plus extra for garnish)

all-purpose flour

tsp baking soda

baking powder

salt

(2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

granulated sugar

light brown sugar

eggs, room temperature

tsp vanilla extract

digestive biscuit crumb

white chocolate chips (plus extra for garnish)

Blend the first 150g of digestive biscuits in a food processor until finely ground and resembles a &#8220;flour.&#8221; Separately, break the remaining 100g of digestive biscuits into small pieces (no larger than about a half inch) and set aside.

Crush the earl grey tea leaves until reduced in size. Combine this with the two flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium sized bowl.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated and light brown sugar on medium high speed until lighter in color, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the digestive biscuit pieces and white chocolate chips and mix until just incorporated.

Scoop 2 inch dough balls onto a baking sheet, flatten them slightly, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Once chilled, place the slightly flattened dough balls at least 3 inches apart on a baking sheet and bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Optional: While the cookies are still hot out of the oven, place a few white chocolate chips in the center of each cookie, let them melt, and use a spoon to spread to form a pool of chocolate. Sprinkle with tea leaves to garnish.

This London Fog Cake is an easy vanilla layer cake with a rich Earl Grey buttercream frosting that's perfectly simple for an imperfect baker. The Earl Grey buttercream, combined with the vanilla cake flavors, mimics the flavors of your favorite London Fog latte.

London Fog Cake

White Cake Mix (I recommend Betty Crocker Super Moist White Cake Mix)

eggs (per box directions –

unsalted butter – softened

sugar

Earl Grey tea

pure vanilla extract

heavy cream

Tbsp. brewed Earl Grey tea – cooled

Culinary Lavender, orange zest – OPTIONAL

Preheat oven to the temperature recommended on box cake mix directions.

Grease and flour two 8&#8243; round cake pans. Then, trace around each pan onto parchment paper and cut out so that the circle pieces fit snuggly into the bottom of each pan. I find that this ensures your cake will easily transfer with no sticking.

Mix cake mix according to package directions and bake according to the directions for two 8&#8243; round cake pans.

While the cakes are baking, mix the Earl Grey buttercream icing.

Add the softened butter and heavy cream to a large mixing bowl. Start creaming on medium-low speed and slowly add in the powdered sugar. Then add in the vanilla, salt, and loose Earl Grey tea. Then add in the cooled brewed Earl Grey tea. Mix until fully combined and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Once the cakes have finished baking, remove from the oven and set the pans onto a cooling rack. Let cool for 5 minutes. Then, carefully place another cooling rack on top of each pan and flip to transfer to the cake to the cooling rack outside of the pan. Let completely cool.

Once the cakes have cooled, you can assemble the cake and ice with the Earl Grey buttercream.

Place a small dab of the buttercream frosting onto the center of your cake stand, then place one of the cake layers onto the cake stand. Add a big dollop of the Earl Grey buttercream on top of that layer and spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake out to the edge. You can have a slight bit of overhand of frosting, which will help when icing the sides of the cake.

Next, place the second layer of cake onto the frosting and gently press it down just to make sure it sticks. From here, frost a thin layer of frosting all of the cake, top and sides. This will help seal in the crumbs, also known as a crumb coat. Once you have your crumb coat, begin to frost the cake from the top, then down the sides. Be generous with your frosting, continuing to smooth as you go around the cake.

Top with Culinary Lavender and orange zest, if preferred.

This perfect London fog cake is an extra soft and moist cake flavored with Earl Grey tea and lavender, soaked with sweet Earl Grey lavender milk and frosted with silky lavender vanilla bean cream cheese frosting. It’s so incredibly soft, packed full of Earl Grey and lavender flavor, with the most irresistible texture from the tea milk soak, almost like a tres leches, but not quite as wet. The most perfect tea cake!

tbsp (12 g) Earl Grey tea

tbsp (2 g) culinary lavender

(282 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

tsp baking powder

tsp salt

tbsp (140 g) unsalted butter, softened

(300 g) granulated white sugar

eggs,

vanilla bean paste

(240 ml) buttermilk

(120 ml) whole milk

tbsp (8 g) Earl Grey tea

tbsp (1 g) culinary lavender

(150 g) sweetened condensed milk

(224 g) unsalted butter, softened

oz (226 g) cream cheese,

(260 g) powdered sugar

purple food coloring (optional)

Preheat the oven to  350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch light metal baking pan and line it with parchment paper.

Add the Earl Grey tea and lavender to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Pass through a sieve to separate any large bits.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, Earl Grey tea, lavender, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then set aside the flour mixture.

Add the softened butter and granulated white sugar to a large bowl. Cream together for 2 minutes with an electric mixer on high speed.

Then add in the eggs and vanilla and mix on medium speed until pale in color and smooth, about 1 minute.

Add in the buttermilk and dry ingredients a little bit at a time, mixing on low speed until all is combined and the batter is smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake for 38-44 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then pull up on the parchment paper to release it from the pan. Let the cake continue cooling on the cooling rack until completely cooled.

For the Earl Grey Cake

While the cake cools, work on the Earl Grey milk soak. Add the milk to a small sauce pan and heat over low heat until steaming, then add in the Earl Grey tea and lavender. Allow it to steep for 15 minutes, then remove from the heat. Pass the mixture through a sieve and allow the milk to cool.

Transfer the Earl Grey milk to a liquid measuring cup or something you can easily pour from. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Set aside until ready to use.

For the Earl Grey Milk Soak

Add the lavender to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Pass through a sieve to separate any large bits.

Add the butter to a large mixing bowl and mix on high speed with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Then add in the cream cheese and mix on high speed until fluffy, about 1 minute.

Sift in the powdered sugar, and add in the lavender and vanilla. Mix on low speed until combined, then on high speed for 1 minute until fluffy again. Add in purple food coloring and mix until combined.

For the Lavender Cream Cheese Frosting

When the cake is completely cooled, cut a very thin layer off the top of the cake off using a sharp knife. This will make it easier for the Earl Grey milk to absorb into the cake. Transfer it to a serving plate. Poke holes on the top of the cake using a wooden stick or the handle of a wooden spoon.(I used the handle of a honey dipper for smaller holes.)

Slowly pour the Earl Grey milk mixture on top of the cake. It is thin so it should absorb into the cake and the poked holes easily, but do be patient as it does.

Frost the top of the cake with a thick layer of lavender cream cheese frosting using an offset spatula. Then cut into 16 slices and serve!

Assembling the Cake

My family and I absolutely love this recipe! I made it for a birthday and now I am making it for my sister-in-law‘s elopement/wedding party! I’m having to make the frosting in bulk a couple days early and I’m wondering if it will stay pretty fresh if I make it on a Tuesday night for Saturday night? Thank you!

What a great cake!  Exceeded my expectations. Those of us who thought the tea or lavender tastes would be overpowering were proven wrong. Will definitely make again. 

I made this without vanilla because it's unavailable in my region. Certainly a good cake worth a try, but much the cream is much too sweet for my liking. Also the cream turned ot kind of lumpy and not smooth, but that might be my fault or some ingredient nuances.

Made this for my third time ever baking and it still turned out so well!! Took me five hours instead of two for some reason but I think that was just the inexperience and having to hand mix everything. Got so many compliments on these, and will definitely make again.

I made it! It has a lovely flavor! I used Lady Grey because that's what I had on hand and I used beet powder to color the frosting. It turned out perfect! 
Thank you for sharing this recipe!

It turned out awesome! Thank you so much!

Every baker knows the most important conversions are for the dry ingredients.  Baking Soda and baking powder are leaveners used in such minute amounts that teaspoons are the most accurate way of measuring for most kitchen scales. 

In other words, stop and just let the experts do their thing.
