Yield Serves 6–8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Total Cost $12
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup loose-leaf Thai tea (cha-yen)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 (6-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, divided in half
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Use butter wrapper to grease an 8-inch loaf pan, 8-inch square cake pan, or 8-inch round cake pan.
  • 2. Brew tea with 3/4 cup boiling water, covered, for 10 minutes. Strain tea leaves and discard. In a mixing bowl, combine butter and freshly brewed tea until butter is completely melted. Whisk vanilla, half of the sweetened condensed milk, and the eggs. Mixture should be bright orange and very creamy. Gently stir in salt, flour, and baking powder. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cake to cool for 20 minutes.
  • 3. While cake cools, make the glaze. Whisk together remaining sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar until a thick, creamy mixture forms.
  • 4. To serve cake, run a knife along the edge of the cooled cake to gently loosen it from its pan. Turn cake out onto a plate and drizzle glaze over the top, allowing it to run down the sides of the cake.
  • 5. Cake can either be served immediately or chilled and served cold.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect Thai iced tea cake, start with high-quality ingredients. Use a strong black tea, such as Ceylon or Earl Grey, and make sure the tea is brewed fresh. You can also use a good quality instant Thai tea mix.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a generous amount of frosting on the cake. This will give the cake a rich and decadent flavor.

Conclusion:

The Thai iced tea cake is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Follow these tips for baking the perfect Thai iced tea cake, and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family.
