Servings: persons

3/4 cup virgin olive oil
4 earl grey tea bags
½ tablespoons unsalted butter, room temp
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
6 large eggs
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
zest of half a lemon
flour+butter for the pan

1
Preheat oven to 350F ( Celsius). Heat the tea bags with olive oil in a small saucepan for about 2 minutes on medium heat. Turn off heat, let it sit with the tea bags inside and cool almost all the way.
2
In a large bowl with a beater, or in a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the butter on high speed for 30 seconds, slowly add sugar, salt, eggs, and continue to mix until well incorporated-about 1 minute. Scrape sides as needed. Then add 2 cups of the flour and mix with the beater just enough to get most of the flour wet on the lowest speed. Add 1 cup milk, the tea infused oil tossing out the tea bags, then add the remaining flour, vanilla, lemon zest, and once again mix on the lowest speed until roughly incorporated.
3
Lightly butter the sides of the pan including the middle tube, sprinkle with flour, pour in the batter, and bake for approximately 1 hour. You may need to bake longer depending on your oven. Let it cool, slice, and serve with berries or ice cream.
