Description
A delicious and aromatic Thai Tea Cake that combines the unique flavors of Thai tea with a moist cake and creamy frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup brewed Thai tea, cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup brewed Thai tea, cooled (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the softened butter, eggs, brewed Thai tea, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth and well blended.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, followed by the brewed Thai tea and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of cardamom to the batter.
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce.
