Earl Grey Tea Chiffon Cake 伯爵茶戚风蛋糕
Remember I made Earl Grey Tea Cookies which was posted before Chinese New Year last year? This time around I’ve tweaked and transformed the cookie recipe to this Earl Grey Tea Cake in the pretty heart shaped chiffon cake pan. This cake turned out light, soft and fragrant with the hint of Earl Grey flavour. In fact we finished off this cake within a day. This cake is ideal to serve as tea cake for your guests during Chinese New Year and also on Valentine’s Day.

Hi Ann,
How long should I bake the cake and at how many degrees C if I want to bake it into 3″ cakes?
Hi Ailing,
You can at the same temp 170C for about 20 mins but as oven varies, you need to monitor your oven carefully.
Hi!
I love earl grey cakes but my chiffon tins are all 23cm and above. Would you have a recipe for 23cm mold please?
Thanks!
Hi Lynn, you have to use at least 8 eggs for a 23cm chiffon tin.
我有想念7风过年后就会开工了:)
I'm a chocoholic, but I have to say if I have to choose between earl grey chiffon cake and chocolate, I'll DEFINITELY choose this!!! Looks so good!!!!
Did you use whole milk or semi-skimmed?
I used full cream milk.
very nice ….btw, may i know what is the purpose to add in the corn flour?
The texture of the cake is spongy and soft after adding the corn flour.

Hello! would like to ask why must we heat up the milk and then cool it? How do u heat up the milk? over the stove in a pot or can we just microwave it? Really love your variety of Earl Grey chiffon, tea cake and cookies, I think I'm gonna try all 3 recipes!
Hi Gek, Just light boil the milk or microwave it. Then add Earl grey leaves in it and cover to get the flavour of Earl Grey tea.
Hi Ann,
Can I pour the batter into cupcake mould since I do not have the big mould? Pls advise. Thanks!
