Ingredients

8 servings
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 3 -4 bags chai tea
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) Land O Lakes® Salted Butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 3/4 cup almond flour ((or 1/2 cup all-purpose flour))
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 -4 tablespoons juice from a Meyer lemon, or use a regular lemon
  • 1 blood orange  ((optional))
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar, use more as needed

Steps

  1. 1. Bring the milk to a low boil in a small saucepan until steaming. Remove from the heat. Add the tea bags, cover, and steep for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard.2. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a (9x5 inch) loaf pan.3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, honey, and lemon zest until combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until combined, then add the vanilla. Add the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat to combine. Add the steeped chai milk, beating until just combined.4. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake is browning too quickly, cover with foil.5. Meanwhile, make the glaze. Remove the zest from the lemon and orange with a vegetable peeler in wide strips. Then thinly slice the strips. In a medium bowl, mix together the honey and 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice. Drizzle 1/2 the glaze over the warm cake. 6. To the remaining glaze, add the powdered sugar, whisk until smooth. Stir in 1/2 the lemon and orange zest. Pour the glaze over the cake. You can garnish with the remaining zest, if desired. Let set 5 minutes, slice, and enjoy warm or at room temp.
