That's why this cake is well liked by my family. Earl Grey is one of my favourite flavours of tea, a black tea with a distinctive flavour and aroma from oil extracted from the rind of a bergamot orange. It isn't black tea, it's orange tea. Earl Grey is a flavour that matches well with both chocolate and maple and that is what makes it a perfect base for a cake. Then a day later, craving for a chiffon, I decided to bake an Earl Grey chiffon cake.
