**Sweet Tea Bunt Cake**

**Ingredients:**

Cake

3/4 cup milk, plus more if needed  
2 family-size iced tea bags  
3 cups all-purpose flour  
2 1/4 teaspoon baking powder  
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt  
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter  
1 1/2 cups sugar  
6 eggs  
2 teaspoons vanilla extract  
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Sweet Tea Syrup

1/2 cup water  
1 family-size iced tea bag and 2 Constant Comment tea bags  
1/2 cup sugar  
1/8 teaspoon salt

**Directions:**

Preheat oven to 350°F, and grease a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

Make the Cake: Heat milk in a small saucepan until steaming and almost boiling. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Allow to sit for 10 minutes; press milk out of tea bags and discard. Remeasure tea milk and add additional milk until you have exactly 3/4 cup. Set aside to cool completely.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar for 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the first three eggs, one at a time, waiting until each is incorporated before adding the next. Add two large spoonfuls of the flour mixture and mix to incorporate. Then add the last 3 eggs one at a time.

Mix together the tea mixture with vanilla extract and vegetable oil. Alternate adding flour mixture and tea mixture in 3 additions to the mixer, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and mixing for 1 minute with each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined. Pour cake batter into prepared Bundt pan and use a spatula to level the batter. Bake until a cake tester inserted comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Allow to cool for 30 minutes before inverting out of the pan.

Make Sweet Tea Syrup: Bring water in a medium saucepan to a boil; remove from heat and add tea bags. Allow to steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and discard them. Add sugar and salt to tea; heat and stir over medium until sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.

Use a cake tester to prick the surface of the cake all over. Brush the syrup across the surface of the cake; continue brushing until all the syrup has been absorbed.

I agree with @john1 I’d like to try it too! I have plenty of gluten-free flour but I don’t have a bundt pan! 🤔 I’ll have to work on that… getting one that is!!! Thanks so much for another great recipe, @Amethyst

With love 💞 always

I wonder if this can be made in a regular cake pan instead of a bundt cake pan… I don’t have one of those but I’m sure my fiance would love this cake!

So this is on my list for tomorrow… I hope! It was on the list for today, but then I decided I needed to clean the stove, and then the dish I needed was dirty, so I washed the dishes, and the. The trash was full and I took that out and then and then and then… I ended up on my hands and knees scrubbing the floor in front of the stove and the high traffic prep area. My husband walked in and said…. “I thought you were making a cake?”…. Yeah, me too, dude… me too.

No cake yet, but my kitchen is very clean!

OMG, that’s a lot of scrubbing! But you were just getting your area ready to make your masterpiece, right?

What was difficult for me to clean up was my piles of books, back when I had them. I’d aways stop to read!
