London Fog Cake is the delicious comfort of an Earl Grey latte in cake form. Moist chocolate cake is layered with Earl Grey buttercream and topped with a silky and sweet caramel sauce.
If you are an Earl Grey fan, this London Fog cake is a must!
We made a few adaptations to her Swiss Meringue buttercream recipe and ended with this recipe. We used our standard chocolate cake recipe for the cake layers. This makes two delicious chocolate layers.
The best part of the caramel topping recipe is how easy it is to make. You just boil the sugar down until browned, then add the dairy while stirring continuously. After cooking for a few minutes more, add butter and vanilla. It takes about 15 minutes from start to finish.
– sugar – light corn syrup – water – heavy cream at room temperature – unsalted butter – vanilla
Earl Grey Tea is the star of the buttercream for this recipe. Don't rush the steeping time for the tea and that will help its flavor to shine through.
The sweet vanilla-infused Earl Grey tea latte is a classic for any coffee lover, but this London Fog twist makes this cake extra special. I'll say this was pretty delicious.
