Earl Grey Tea Cakes | Julie Nolke

[@Heivang]

I know I am 2 years late to the party, but there are a few things to point out. 1st is add milk first, not later if you want more air in your cake. I'd expect those made here would be dry and compact. 2nd and my little pet peeve, the "strong" tea. Tea goes bitter if you steep to long. If you want stronger tea you add more tea. More tea=more taste, more time=more bitter. Anyways, I'm gonna have a go at this later.

[@fearlesslegend021]

very good advice, thank you

[@Zarrell]

Exactly, first thing I noticed as well. I find that earl grey tastes it's best and smoothest if you just steap it briefly.

[@glascala105]

So glad you mentioned that about the tea getting bitter so people trying the recipe wouldn't be disappointed.

[@pete8420]

Have I been drinking tea wrong my whole life?

[@MusicMendicant]

Thank you for the recipe & your lovely presentation 😃 Do you know a good natural replacement for eggs? I do not like/use egg beaters or processed egg substitutes. Also, when you are steeping tea bags in hot milk vs hot water, you definitely need to steep them a bit longer, but not so long that they become bitter. I agree, stronger tea = more tea/teabags, not boiling it for longer. I think the cake would taste more delicate if you use Earl Grey and Lavender Tea as opposed to plain Earl Grey Tea. Twinings makes really good EG & L tea!

[@shaheenbeeharry9710]

I was sold when she said: "Do you like my outfit today? I wanted to look like an earl grey tea bag" So sweet :')

Coming here having seen all the sketches and parodies with Julie Nolke, I am really CONFUSED :).

[@noa0172]

Same, I was waiting for the parody...

[@koucka.a.doucka]

@@noa0172 I am still not sure if this isn't a parody :-D.

[@noa0172]

@@koucka.a.doucka True, it's seems pretty out of character when you've only seen all her other content

[@Rafdi13]

So true

[@jimburns3636]

@@noa0172 Yes, I too just discovered this early Nolke content. But it's only out of character if you focus on the calm affect and ignore the cry for attention. Every artist, regardless of their medium, NEEDS their audience desperately. So does Julie. I'm just happy for both her and us that she found a more fully engaged comedic persona.

[@carola-lifeinparis]

I just realized that the Julie Nolke transformation probably went from : A serious cooking channel to a funny cooking channel, to a funny cooking based sketch channel, to the most amazing sketch channel there is ... and this video comes from the other end of the transformation

[@rza11011]

Had a fun time making this cake! I used the same ingredients and checked the description for the steps and everything. I just made a cup of milk since the instructions were unclear. For the 1 1/3 Baking Powder, the instructions were unclear, 1 1/3 what? Be specific. Instead, I used 1 1/4 tsp of Baking Powder. I baked it in the oven the at 325 F, for 45 minutes. Wasn’t cooked, so I let it go 15 minutes more like the recipe wanted, and it was perfect. For the icing, using 4 tablespoons of strongly steeped tea was way too much and the icing was a bit watery so I added more powdered sugar (otherwise known as icing sugar). Once I put this on the cake, it became a nice glaze on top and was alright. Hope this helped!

[@Simplicity165]

What a great presence Julie has in front of the camera.. 90% of watching food related shows is enjoying the person preparing the food. Humor, attitude, a great smile, and confidence.. What a joy to watch..!

[@JustEatLife]

You're the cutest Earl Grey tea bag I've even seen. Love this recipe!

[@julienolke]

+Just Eat Life thanks sweet lady :)

[@hotpotts]

that's creepy

[@alma9465]

Just made this. It is so good!! As they say in other comments its 1 cup of milk that I added before the flour and 1 1/3 tablespoon of baking soda. I had to bake mine for 70 minutes. Makes me feel like im in an english tea party :)

[@fearlesslegend021]

So i just made this recipe and its super great for a simple, easy and tasty cake. I used 1 and 1/3 cup of milk and two teaspoons of baking soda as otherwise it doesnt rise too much. I also add the milk to the wet ingredients THEN add the dry ingredients. It tastes more like a lemon cake with a hint of tea rather than a plain earl grey cake.

[@cupofjohoe]

Julie is the absolute greatest. I thought she was going to say she wanted to look like a fairy or something in her outfit - but instead a bag of tea! Brilliant.

[@fussyKee]

Thank you for this recipe, it's my new favourite! Already made it 4 times, but I left out the lemon... I used 3 earl gray teabags and 2 madame gray teabags, wich was a good amount of flavour in the cake. Also, I added the milk earlier and the dry ingredients as last, only folding them in slightly to get it wet, this keeps the dough moist and fluffy. For muffins, I left them in the oven for 20 minutes (got about 15 muffins from the recipe)

[@jonathonbaker-guntang4163]

Just finished icing, very delicious! Nice dense cake with a subtle and delicate taste.

[@mynameisneda]

This looks divine! As a self-confessed lover of tea (especially Earl Grey) I don't know why I haven't done this already. I'll definitely be making this for my next baking session!

[@prisillaspace]

This by far is THE best Earl Grey tea cake recipe.....your glaze!!!! Can't wait to try!!

[@migueloks]

I love Julie! She has the lightest sense of humor good at a time when things seem so heavy. ....I wanted to look like a tea bag.. thats funny! i think that these cooking videos are so much more than about cooking. Happy New Year Julie!

[@chunshine]

Julie is my most favorite person from Tastemade and her recipes are heavenly.

[@skram1000]

I made this with black and chi with all the goodies, and put some in a muffin tin and the rest in the bottom of a bread pan, baked for 20-30 min turned out great, also i used quinoa flour too, tasty.

[@DunyaPax88]

If the milk is just warm, you should probably add it with the wet ingredients, then fold in the dry. Overmixing the flour into the batter like the video shows might give you a dry, dense cake. At least in my experience. Choux pastry (cream puffs, eclairs) is one of few recipes that calls for the overmixing because the dough is made in a pot, over heat. So you add eggs after the flour to avoid them being scrambled. But here, I would advise adding the milk before the flour.

[@cutienerdgirl]

Nesha Usmani Good Tip!!

[@jigglycat666]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@Mohamedmifxal]

Or just make it with reverse creaming method. Guaranteed moist fluffyness.

[@boberikson1242]

Nesha Usmani Thanks

[@genevievepineda2600]

Just made this cake today...the most unique and beautiful cake I've ever made! Thank you for the recipe 😊🧡

[@thrillhouse_vanhouten]

You had me at Earl Grey

[@AmberBocks3000]

I don’t particularly like cake, but I wanted to try an Earl Grey cake after hearing about it. I like that this makes a small cake since there are only two people in my house. I made the cake with a few tweaks: I used 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder (no one has a third of teaspoon!) and I only used 3/4 cup of sugar. When mixing, I alternately added a 1/3 flour to egg/butter mixture then added 1/3 of milk and just mixed until all was combined. I didn’t bother with the glaze. It is fantastic plain. Next time I am going to bake it in a nine inch square pan with less time. I’m also going to swap out orange zest for the lemon zest. Thanks for this recipe! I have a new favorite.

[@GR46404]

I had no idea there were two Julia Nolkes on KZbin. Quite a coincidence!

[@havad3938]

I enjoy your humor! Looks tasty!

[@cielssweets]

This MUST be a dream...my two favorite things, Earl Gray and Cake....

[@RichardPhilbin]

THE TOP OF CAKE IS THE BEST PART ! AAAAGGHHH !!

[@keasial6803]

I feel like this would be REALLY good as a milk cake. Gotta try it!

[@musiclover1725]

You have the absolute coolest personality.

[@zainabalmasabi4192]

I just made this cake and it taste AMAZING, all my family loved it actually :D my brother said that he felt he's in a tea party haha PS: it's the first time I get too excited to make a recipe right after I watch a video, it looked so easy and delicious I couldn't resist

[@Heghineh1]

Beautiful dessert and video ✨

[@Hannah-ne2vi]

instead of bottled food coloring squeezed blueberries would also be a good option for dying the icing

[@adame2037]

they'll also give it a blueberry taste

[@ma_r1o24]

This is a genius idea 😯

[@vegev5709]

loving the earl grey aesthetics

[@FrancescoZara]

Back to the times when Clementine didn't have memory problems

[@Hayweloveyou]

I had tea cake before but the way you cook i believe it will turn out better soooo niccceee cooking

[@Mileyhannahfanable]

I adore her recipes

[@theacer3aper]

came for the cake, stayed for julie

[@julienolke]

+Shifters Unite hehe I love that

[@Nad3108]

How do I end up with 1 cup of milk in the end when I start with 2/3 of a cup?!?!? Also what is the measurement for the baking powder???

[@fearlesslegend021]

i think its a mistake, it should be 1 cup instead of 2/3 cup

[@BeBe-tl9cf]

what is the measurement of baking powder? thanks

[@sloppywetkiss8130]

If I were to guess with my gusser for the baking powder, I think it would be a teaspoon. MAYBE a tablespoon but that would be too much, so I'm going to go with my gut.

[@michaelknittel5259]

She should make more viedos!!! Loveed it.

[@Nanapoo]

haha I don't know if i liked her or the recipe more, she's amazing and so funny!

[@ysa5235]

I love Julie so much omg

[@TheGuywithaChannel]

Have you ever tried it with Lady Grey? I feel like the extra citrusy...ness would make a good cake flavour.

[@julienolke]

+Christian Stepanek mmmm! such a good idea :) I was also thinking of trying out some cool herbal teas

[@lepetitchat123]

Can I use darjeeling tea?

[@JulyenThorne]

Firstly fantastic video and lovely tea cakes. Secondly that is LAURAS KITCHEN!

[@emilykovalev3462]

The cake looks adorable!! Love how you mentioned Kate Middleton lol. One thing that I'd probably suggest to everyone is probably trim the cake before you cut it into smaller ones (petit fours). It will look a lot nicer and evenly layered if you"re serving at an event such as a birthday party, engagement, wedding, etc. Unless, of course, its for your own household and you don't mind the imperfections, a.k.a perfectly imperfect:) This will save you some time, knowing from experience.

[@Lucy-yp1bm]

I was wondering what brand of Earl Gray you used?

[@HSVIRK]

I was looking for infusing videos so I could make tea infused gin for my gin and tonics because I don't technically need to go down town for summer and that's where I get them. But now I'm thinking about doing a "tea" party.

[@kathleensweeney5123]

Hi Julie I need to clarify how much butter is put in the glaze you have 3/4 of an ounce I’ve never measured that before 3/4 of an ounce of butter do you mean 3/4 of a teaspoon or 3/4 of a tablespoon or 3/4 of a cup I don’t know please clarify thank you kate

[@niorblanc]

Earl grey and white chocolate is the best combination

[@OnnaBlade]

I love earl gray

[@mariavargas4379]

[@flavioinsinnaafareletroie]

Can i substitute the earl grey with any other types of tea?

[@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Earl Grey was one of our greatest Prime Ministers.

[@alimaystorm2063]

One question! Can you do the same recipe with other flavors of tea? I plan to do this with a peach or strawberry flavored tea.

[@Diamondinrouge]

Such a simple and lovely recipe to watch - you're awesome (like the cake)! I was wondering if substituting milk with soya milk works?

[@Issuna87]

Love this recipe! I would avoid tapping when baking cakes though. :3 the light gentle pushing to the corners is good though!

[@oauseer]

How come you avoid it? Does it make it less light?

[@Issuna87]

+oabuseer the first time I baked a few cakes in prep for daughters 1st bday and tapped vs just smoothing out gently it was noticeably less fluffy :o I guess it could be to preference though xD

[@rolandoolanday2799]

where'd you get your dress? :)

[@biancahotca3244]

I wonder, instead of using butter, can I use sunflower or even vegetable oil??? When I use butter, I tend to feel nauseous after. It's just too hard on my liver. Would really like to make this.

[@chvrrvism3833]

yooooo fix the measurements in the description please ! i used 2 cups of milk and the batter ended up being so watery unlike it did in the video ! 1 cup is enough

[@taeswinterbear5090]

[@AP0651cs]

Could you please share what type of camera was used to shoot this video. Really impressed with the video quality:)

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

In in mid-baking this cake, and I've got a doubt! The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of milk, how do you end up with 1 cup of milk if you had less in the first place? Lol as if my metric system struggle wasn't enough 😅

[@sugarplumfairy_]

I love her I used to watch her on tastemade's snapchat! I never thought that she would be interested in comedy and sketches

[@leahaha884]

[@orlamartin4736]

I was making the recipe and since I'm British the milk has shrunk in size? Does the recipe say 2-3 cups of milk or 2/3 cups of milk?

[@michaelpesavento8268]

I've never tried Earl gray tea, what does it taste like? Is it floral? I like most types of tea aslong as it's not floral

[@Tsuki04wolf]

+Kori Skene its black tea with bergamot oil! It's a citrus fruit so it's quite citrusy and sometimes can be florally depending on the brand

[@TheDevilDarling]

Mary .Mary thank you for describing it to me! I might try some at a coffee shop or something so I don't have to invest in teabags incase I don't like it.
