I am a huge fan of tea and my tea cabinet is a little out of control. Boxes and canisters of just about every type of tea are overflowing and I just can't seem to stop buying more. Yes, I am pretty sure I am a tea addict! Like most people, I primarily enjoy my tea out of a cup but I was intrigued when I saw the Celestial Seasonings recipe page. I never considered adding tea to a cake recipe! There are so many great ways to enjoy tea that we all need to start getting creative and move it from cup to plate. If you are interested in experimenting with your own tea recipes, Celestial Seasonings can help with their Holiday Recipes page. I thought I would share the Gingerbread Spice Tea Cake Recipe that I recreated so you could see how tasty it looks!
NOTE: Steep the tea in the cream while the cake is baking and then chill. When the cake is cool the cream will be chilled enough for whipping with the sugar!

I love, love, love spice cake. Who doesn't? I love this very creative addition to the spice cake recipe. Tea in a cake is genius!

It was delicious and the idea of using tea to flavor whipped cream was awesome...glad I found that idea on the celestial seasonings recipe page!

I am making this right now...and I used my (new to me) Kitchen Aid mixer, because I just couldn't not....my kids helped and here's my piece of advice: Do not let your child turn the mixer high when adding the tea....lets just say we had a kitchen disaster, my 3 year old decided to turn the speed up as I was adding the tea in....it was everywhere 🙂 I added a little more tea and hope it comes out okay! Love the recipe and minus our disaster it was totally easy! I think I will keep this recipe around simply for the memory ! 🙂
Diane
oh I have made huge messes with my kitchenaid and I am NOT 3! Must proceed slowly while adding ingredients 🙂 Hope you enjoy it! The gingerbread whipped cream is a definite must!
