  1. This was ok. I think I was expecting it to be more moist and to have a stronger tea flavor. Mine turned out bland. I did use Recipe #61278 for the curd in microwave and that was awesome.
     
  2. This is a wonderful recipe, though I highly recommend using Bigelow brand Earl Grey tea. It gives a flavor like none other =)
     
  3. Nice thick, sweet-smelling batter! Had enough to make 6 mini bundts for family and 2 mini loaves for gift-giving. Used Splash Earl Grey Black Tea but used a store-bought lemon curd. I'll make my own with the next batch. This makes a lovely addition to any tea tray. Thanks, Annacia, I'm so glad I tried this out. Oh yeah, even without the lemon curn this is delicious!
