Ingredients

    6 Earl Grey tea bags or 2 tablespoons loose Earl Grey
    1 cup water
    1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
    3 eggs
    2 cups granulated sugar
    4 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted & cooled
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 cup plain yogurt
    confectioners’ sugar- for garnishing

Tips

I made these into cupcakes. The oven temp. is still 350, and these baked for 20 minutes. I was able to fit two 12-muffin pans into my oven, and this recipe made 32 cupcakes. So I had an extra 20 minutes of cooking time for the last eight cupcakes.


Directions

Heat oven to 350° F.

Brew the tea in the water 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags or strain the leaves and set the brewed tea aside.

Using a mixer, beat the butter, eggs, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Blend in the chocolate. Beat in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, yogurt, and brewed tea. Fill cupcakes 1/2 to 2/3 full of batter.

Bake 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out with a few crumbs attached. Remove from oven and remove cupcakes from hot pan so they can cool. Dust with confectioners’ sugar when completely cooled.
