🍰 Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
2 tbsp loose jasmine tea (or 2 jasmine tea bags)
1½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
1½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, room temp (113 g)
¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Jasmine Syrup (optional but enhances flavor):

¼ cup sugar (50 g)
1 tbsp loose jasmine tea
For the Frosting:
1 cup heavy whipping cream (240 ml)
2 tbsp powdered sugar

🧁 Instructions
1. Infuse the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat the milk until hot but not boiling. Add jasmine tea and let steep for 15 minutes.
Strain and cool completely before using.
2. Make the Cake
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 mins).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then vanilla.
Add dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with jasmine milk in 2 parts. Mix gently until smooth.
Pour batter into pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cake cool. Optionally brush with jasmine syrup for extra aroma.
3. Make Jasmine Syrup (optional)
Boil sugar and water together, add tea, steep 10 mins, strain, and cool.
4. Make the Frosting
Whip cold cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Optionally add jasmine syrup for more floral flavor.
