Chocolate Tea Cake
Description
The baking is simple and quick. The cake with "Earl Grey" tea is very aromatic, and the chocolate only enhances its flavor. You can just dust the chocolate cake with powdered sugar, but I wanted to cover it completely with chocolate glaze. Recommended for chocolate lovers.
