| Earl Grey Cupcakes and Strawberry Shortcakes
This is a great cupcake for many occasions-teacher's appreciation, thank-you-gifts, birthday cupcakes, or tea parties. I first encountered the cake on the menu of Le Petit Culliere, a newly opened afternoon-tea place in Vancouver. Before I actually went recipe-hunting, I always thought these cakes actually had tea leaves in them-dry tea leaves and cake dough? Hmmm................
It turns out the real tea flavor comes from a milk-tea mixture (the method is just like how you make milk tea!) added in the cake. While it retains its fluffiness it also has a nice smell to it.
A little note: cupcakes are not muffins, they're more toward the light and fluffy side (the less holes in the cake the better) while muffins have more air and taste a little drier than cupcakes.
