Apple Tea Poundcake
- 95 grams Cake flour
- 20 grams Almond flour
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs (L)
- 2 tea bags Tea leaves (Earl Grey)
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
- Preliminaries: Line the poundcake tin with glassine paper.
- If the pan has a nonstick finish or is made of silicone, grease it with vegetable oil.
- Preliminaries: Return the eggs and butter to room temperature.
- Sift the cake flour twice from a height to incorporate lots of air into it, even if it seems like a lot of work.
- Make the caramelized apples and leave to cool.
- See.
- Put the room temperature butter in a bowl and mix until it's glossy like mayonnaise.
- If the butter is at room temperature it will reach the mayonnaise-like stage right away.
- Add all the granulated sugar to the creamed butter at once.
- Beat with a handheld mixer until it's white and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
- Push the butter towards the center of the bowl occasionally.
- After 10 minutes, it's quite fluffy.
- If you have more energy, continue beating for 15 minutes.
- You can skip this if you like.
- Break an egg into a separate bowl and beat it very well before adding it to the butter-sugar mixture.
- Use a handheld mixer for this again.
- Add the 2nd egg in the same way.
- If you add 2 eggs at once the batter may split.
- Cold eggs may make the batter split too.
- Add the lemon juice, cake flour and tea leaves.
- Turn the bowl counter-clockwise while scooping up the batter from the bottom of the bowl to mix.
- Mix well but not too much, until the batter is glossy.
- Add the caramelized apples.
- Pour the batter into the pancake pan.
- Make sure to fill the corners properly, and level out the surface.
- Bake for 20 minutes in a preheated 180C oven, then lower the heat to 170C and cover with aluminum foil and bake for another 20 minutes.
- After cooling the cake for a while, wrap it up in foil and let rest in the refrigerator for a day.
- The butter doesn't taste good unless it's chilled and hardened, so wait a day.
- When the cake is just out of the refrigerator it's hard and firm, so leave it at room temperature for a while before eating.
- I dusted the top of the cake with powdered sugar this time, but you can also put on some nuts before baking the cake.
