Earl Grey Pound Cake
Earl Grey is one of my favorite kinds of tea and I like to include them in my sweets from time to time. The regular pound cake is good, but the aroma of the earl grey makes this pound cake so much fancier.
With this low-calorie version of earl grey pound cake, you can now enjoy this fancy treat without worrying about calories 😉 No butter is used in this recipe, and that’s how I kept this cake low-calorie.
By using ingredients like Greek yogurt and unsweetened apple sauce as butter substitutes, this pound cake is packed with healthy nutrients as well.
For the earl grey tea leaves, use a blender or food processor to break up the large leaves and coarsely grind them into smaller pieces (not powder). If not, you can also put the leaves in a Ziploc bag and hit them with a rolling pin to break them into smaller pieces.
Place the oven rack in the lower-middle position. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (177˚C). Grease the loaf pan (9×5-inch) thoroughly with oil.
In a large mixing bowl, mix unsweetened applesauce, erythritol, baking powder, and kosher salt.
Add Greek yogurt and vanilla extract into the applesauce mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, whey protein powder, and tea leaves.
Add the dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture and mix until everything is incorporated.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and roughly smooth the top. Bang the loaf pan on the counter a couple of times to remove air pockets.
Bake in the oven until dark golden brown about 50 – 60 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it cool. To remove the pan, loosen the sides with a butter knife or offset spatula. Carefully invert the pound cake onto a wire rack. Turn the cake the right way up and cut a slice. Enjoy!
Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and keep it at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months.
