Hetal Vasavada’s Earl Grey and Lemon Economy Cake

This simple cake recipe is inspired by the classic cookbook, The Settlement Cookbook. The original recipe for Economy Cake was created to be cost-effective, requiring only one egg and basic pantry ingredients. I have put my own twist on it by incorporating Earl Grey tea and fresh lemon zest. The addition of Earl Grey tea provides a subtle floral-citrus taste, giving the cake a unique flavor profile. To make it even more budget-friendly, you can substitute the egg with 1/4 cup of mayo or sour cream. This cake is perfect for serving at gatherings. The recipe was shared by Hetal Vasavada, who resides in San Francisco, California.
