I made a lemon earl gray cake full of the scent of lemon and earl gray. When making milk tea cake, I use whipped cream by steeping tea leaves in cream, put it in a sheet, and taste it in various ways. This time, I made earl gray milk curd just like making lemon curd and mixed it with cream. The earl gray scent in the sheet and cream is subtle, not strong, so I think it goes well with lemon. It is a cake with a combination of lemon and earl gray, so it feels comfortable when you take a bite, so it goes well with simple decorations.
