Discovering London Fog: A Delightful Combination of Earl Grey and Cake

As I curled up with my latest read, 'The Girl on The Train' by Paula Hawkins, I found myself transported to the quaint streets of England. But it wasn't just the book that had me feeling like I was sipping tea in a London café - it was the idea of combining two of my favorite things: Earl Grey and cake.

I've always been a fan of sponge cakes, with their high protein content and stiff egg whites making them the perfect base for any flavor combination. And what better flavor than London Fog, a delightful concoction of Earl Grey tea and vanilla syrup?

As I delved into the world of baking, I discovered that London Fog isn't actually a thing in London - but it is in British Columbia, Canada! It's an Earl Grey latte made with milky tea and vanilla syrup, and it's absolutely delicious. My own favorite way to enjoy Earl Grey is as a floral black tea fragranced with bergamot orange oil.

Inspired by the blog's popular chai spiced cake, I decided to create my own London Fog cake - with two layers of Earl Grey infused sponge cake, drizzled with Earl Grey syrup and topped with soft whipped vanilla cream and edible flowers. The result was a show-stopping beauty that was surprisingly easy to make.

In short, this London Fog earl grey cake is a devastatingly beautiful treat that combines the best of both worlds: the sophistication of Earl Grey tea and the comfort of a delicious cake. So go ahead, give it a try - you won't be disappointed!
