How to Make Tea And Lime Loaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the zest of 2 limes.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of strongly brewed cooled tea, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the top.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the lime syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup fresh lime juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, pierce the top all over with a wooden skewer or toothpick.
- Slowly pour the lime syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in gradually. Let the cake absorb the syrup completely before serving.
