Earl Grey Chocolate Cake
Eeeeep! Did you see this amazing Earl Grey Chocolate Cake recipe that Tracy from Shutterbean posted? YUM. I’m not usually wild about chocolate cake, but if you’re adding Earl Grey–gimme that, now! If it isn’t obvious from my Instagram feed, tea posts or hot chocolate roundup–I am an Earl Grey tea zealot. This looks AMAZING!

I clicked through to Shutterbean, what a gorgeous site! Seriously, I’m not always impressed by chocolate cake either – it’s usually way too rich and heavy or dry and oversweet – but this looks perfect. I love the sound of the floral tea with the dark chocolate flavour.
Yes, I think her site is pretty amazing!
awwww! thanks for the chocolate cake love. xoxoxxo
You’re welcome! Thank YOU for putting this together! xo
Ooooooh! I’ve made Earl Grey cupcakes but never thought to combine it with chocolate. Genius!
You should try the Ear Grey hot chocolate recipe I posted! SO GOOD.
Oh, my! This will be the next dessert I bake. I love anything chocolate and have been on an earl grey tea kick for a few weeks. Delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Let me know how it goes!
This looks really unbelievable! Can’t wait to try it…
Thanks for sharing

You’re welcome!
tea is a highly underrated cooking ingredient, methinks.
if a baking recipe calls for water i usually replace it with tea for a little more flavour. okay, it’s not often that recipes call for water, admittedly – more likely butter or oil and milk or something – but you get the idea. i have also soaked dried fruits in tea instead of water when baking, always earl grey, my absolute favourite black tea.
and chocolate! really. enough said.
Yes–where would we be without Earl Grey?? It should be in everything. :)
you had me at earl grey!
i’m absolutely going to implement this cake into my life! <3
Hahaaa… me too!
I made this today and it had an interesting flavor but was a bit dry. I might increase the yogurt or tea amounts.
Good to know!
This looks amazing! I have a huge bag of Koni Creme Earl Grey sitting in my cupboard… I’d have to figure out the loose to bag ratio, but it shouldn’t be too hard. Yum, yum, yum…
