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.
