* Step 2
Soften unsalted butter at room temperature beforehand. Prepare room-temperature eggs. Grease the loaf pans with butter. Sprinkle bread flour onto the loaf pans. Tap it with your hand to remove excess flour. Let them sit in a fridge.
* Step 3
Sift cake flour, bread flour, baking powder together twice. Crush the earl grey with a rolling pin to make it powder-like. Preheat an oven to 200℃ / 392°F.
* Step 4
Cream unsalted butter until smooth. Add granulated sugar in 3 parts, and mix well each time.
* Step 5
Mix it with a hand mixer on low speed for 3 mins until white and fluffy. (If you use a whisk, mix it for 7 mins or more.) Use a spatula to transfer the butter of edge into the center and mix it on low speed for another 1 min.
* Step 6
Put egg in another bowl. Beat it lightly until watery. Please warm the egg in hot water if it's cold to prevent separating egg and butter. Add 1 Tbsp egg to the butter and mix thoroughly, until smooth. Repeat that 4 times.
* Step 7
Add the remaining egg in 4 parts. Mix thoroughly on low speed each time until creamy. Use a spatula to transfer the edge batter into the center and mix it on low speed.
* Step 8
Add vanilla oil, and mix well with a spatula. Add almond flour, and mix it while crushing lumps, until smooth.
* Step 9
Add all the dry ingredients at once. Fold the flour into the batter about 15 times.
* Step 10
Add earl grey and milk. (Scatter earl grey over the batter. Pour the milk like drawing circles.) Fold it until powderiness disappears and gets glossy a little. Please scrape the flour of edge off and fold it into the batter.
* Step 11
Put the batter into the pan without gaps, as possible. Flatten roughly. Draw a butter-line on the center. (butter-line, omittable) By drawing the line, the cake will crack and be baked well inside. Bake it at 170℃ / 338 F for 45-50 mins or until the cracks will be brown a little.
* Step 12
After baking, immediately drop the pan to prevent the cake from shrinking. Let it cool for 15-20 mins. In the meantime, make earl grey syrup.
* Step 13
【For Earl Grey Syrup】 Put earl grey in a small bowl. Pour boiling water over the earl grey. Cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it for 5 mins. Remove earl grey leaf from the tea.
* Step 14
Put the granulated sugar and the earl grey tea in a small pot. Melt the sugar on medium-low heat while stirring. Turn off the heat, and add Cointreau, stir well.
* Step 15
Remove the cake while it's warm. Dip the bottom and 2 longer sides (3 sides in total) into the syrup for a few seconds each. Brush the remaining sides with the syrup. The syrup will remain, so you should try adding a small amount of syrup in milk or soy milk. It's delicious!
* Step 16
Double-wrap it with plastic wrap. Let it rest at room temperature for 1-2 nights. The 2nd-night cake is my favorite. Done!!
