Tea cake

Ingredients:

• Unsalted butter, room temperature, for greasing the cups
• 0.5 cups of milk
• 1 bag of black tea, such as Earl Grey
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp natural vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups premium flour
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• A pinch of fine salt
• Whipped cream for serving
• Ground cinnamon for serving

Preparation:

1. Grease 4 microwave-safe tea cups with butter. Pour the milk into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power until very hot, 1-2 minutes. Steep the tea bag in the hot milk for about 4 minutes. Remove the tea bag and whisk in the sugar, butter, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth, about 2 minutes.
2. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Divide the batter among the prepared cups, filling them about two-thirds full. Microwave one portion at a time until the cake has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 2 minutes; let cool slightly. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
