Luckily, I am not a boba pearl fanatic, I am more of a grass jelly person 😁, i love my milk tea with grass jelly instead. BUT, once in a while i do like pearls on desserts and i thought of cooking my pearls and top it on a tea cake. Hhhhmmm tastes interesting! With the earl greys' appetizing aroma, it's the best flavour for my cake.
To make it less tasking, bake the cake a day ahead, chill and finish it the next day before serving.
EARL GREY CAKE
Ingredients
5 eggyolks
½ c oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp grits of earl grey tea leaves/ 2 bags of earl grey tea
½ c earl grey tea (3 tea bags infused in 2 c boiled water), cooled
¼ c caster sugar
1 c cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
Meringue
5 egg whites
¼ tsp cream of tartar
½ c caster sugar
Using a baking tray (12x 16cm)
Bake at 160° C for 25 minutes
Cook and ring out 3 round cakes
Condensed milk Buttermilk Frosting:
1 bar unsalted butter (200g)
½ c condensed milk
½ c earl grey tea
1 tsp vanilla
Cream butter. Then add condensed milk, tea and vanilla. Make sure to cover the mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed then increase to high speed.
As the cream comes together it will curdle first, but continue beating at high speed until you attain frosting consistency. This will take a while ;-) be patient.
When done ready to use.
Place it in the fridge for pouring the boba pearl the next day ;-)
BOBA Pearl
Proportion is 7:1 (7 c water: 1 c pearl )
Boil water
Add pearls and wait til it floats. Stir once in a while to prevent the pearl from sticking at the bottom of the pan. Cook for 45 minutes covered while stirring once in a while.
When done remove from heat and let it sit to rest for another 15 minutes, still covered.
When done, drain the water and run tap water over pearls.
Place boba pearl in sugar syrup (1 c water, 1 c muscovado sugar, simmer til thickens)
