Earl Gray bergamot and black tea bundt cake {Battle Food #6}
C’est l’heure de la 6ème édition de la Battle Food lancée par la talentueuse Mamie Gâteau du blog j’ai trop mangé de chocolat, dont le thème est le thé.
Ah l’heure du thé… des petits gâteaux, un bon cake ou des sandwich, des copines pour papoter et un bon thé bien sûr !!! SO, pour rendre hommage à ce thème, j’ai voulu concentré un thé classique que j’adore dans un gâteau, le thé earl grey.
Du thé noir, des bergamotes fraîches (enfin c’était la fin de saison quand la battle a été lancée !) in a soft cake… all covered with a tangy tea syrup…hmmmm…I would like to have tea time every day !
Earl Gray bergamot and black tea bundt cake
Ingredients
- 180 g of flour
- 125 g ground almonds
- 100 g cane sugar
- 4 eggs
- 10 cl of grapeseed oil
- The zest and juice of 3 bergamot
- 1 packet of yeast
For the tea syrup
- 100 grams of sugar
- 90 g of concentrated black tea
For the icing
- 225 g icing sugar
- The juice and zest of 1 bergamot
Description
Preheat the oven to 180°.
Beat the eggs and sugar together to obtain a frothy mixture.. Then add the oil and beat again.
Incorporate the flour thoroughly, yeast and almond powder.
Finish by adding the zest and juice of the bergamot to the mixture..
Put the mixture in a bundt cake mold (or failing that a kouglof mold) buttered and floured. Bake 40 minutes.
Let cool 5 minutes, unmold and let the cake cool on a rack.
Prepare the tea syrup by mixing the previously brewed black tea and the sugar. Bring the syrup to a boil, the sugar needs to dissolve. While the cake is still warm, prick it with a needle and pour the syrup over it.
For the icing, mix the icing sugar and the juice and zest of the bergamot to obtain a homogeneous icing. When the cake is warm, pour it over the top, letting it flow over the edges.
Bon tea time !

28.3.13Kikou the beautiful ones ! Good sense that you make me want to cut myself a slice of cake directly <3 pour myself a cup of hot tea and just enjoy. De toute façon ce n'est pas encore tout à fait le printemps les flocons nous tournent encore autour un peu cette semaine, but I believe that Easter this Sunday will make them all disappear :)
Emilie
28.3.13Hello. Well for us it’s spring with its showers… Rain sun rain. This is also why these good cakes inspire us… A+
Aurelia
3.4.13Made and tasted , it is delicious! On the other hand, I was “surprised” by the 90g of tea? It’s 90g of liquid? I admit that I was a bit guessing about the tea syrup but tell me everything!! Thanks again for this inspiring blog. !
Emilie
4.4.13Oh thank you very much Aurel for your feedback and your compliments. Yes, that’s it, that’s it 90 g of liquid or approximately 9 cl.
Emma
9.4.13This looks absolutely delicious, as always but I live in Lyon, and I have never seen fresh bergamots either at the market or in the supermarket. Do you know where to get it??
Merci!
Emilie
9.4.13I find mine at an organic grocery store. !
Louise
13.1.14This cake really tempts me, especially since I have fresh bergamots in my kitchen!
But I don't have grapeseed oil… Can it be replaced with melted butter or olive oil??
Emilie
13.1.14Yes you can replace with one of the two although I think the olive oil will be a little too strong with the bergamot !
