Earl Grey tea is infused into a batter slightly lighter than a pound cake that includes all-purpose flour, eggs, butter, cream cheese, milk, vanilla, and orange zest. Fig jam colored with EXBERRY® is swirled into the batter before baking in a tube pan, creating an elegant marbled effect. A sprinkle of sugar sprinkled on top caramelizes during baking for a subtle crunch.

This concept is a versatile base to infuse with teas like jasmine or chai for limited-edition variations that reflect popular local tea varieties and regional favorites.
