Ingredients

Servings
  • 150 g butter ⅔ cup, unsalted
  • 1 tsp earl grey tea leaves heaped
  • 220 g caster sugar 1 cup, superfine
  • 2 egg
  • ½ cup Greek-style yoghurt or sour cream, thick
  • 200 g plain flour 1 ⅔ cups, all purpose
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate soda baking
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • lemon zest of 1
  • 125 g blueberries fresh or frozen

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 160 celsius (320 fahrenheit) and grease and line a 22cm x 8cm loaf tin with baking paper. Place the butter in a small saucepan over a medium low heat along with the tea leaves and stir until melted. Set aside for 20 minutes to infuse. Strain the butter through a fine mesh sieve and discard the tea leaves.
  2. Place all the ingredients except the blueberries in a bowl and stir well to combine. Add the blueberries and mix through carefully. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 1 hour, or until the cake is cooked and a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out cleanly. Dust with icing (confectioners) sugar and top with extra blueberries to serve.
