Tea and cake are two peas in a pod, so why not bring them together in a recipe? We partnered with Good Eggs and Chef Simone Miller of ZenBelly to create a dessert that celebrates the end of summer and teases us with fall flavors. It’s paleo to boot, but no one will believe you.

Ingredients For the cake:

• ¼ cup melted ghee (plus more for greasing the pan)
• 5 eggs
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 packets Pique Earl Grey tea

Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan and layer in half of the peaches. Pour in another 1/3 of the batter, the remaining peaches, and then the remaining batter on top.

 

Step 5

Bake for 25­ to 30 minutes, or until the top springs back when you lightly press it. Allow to cool in the pan before inverting onto a plate.

In a small bowl, mix together the confectioner’s sugar, melted ghee and Earl Grey tea. Whisk in a small amount of water at a time until the consistency is smooth and pourable. Drizzle the glaze atop the cooled cake and allow it to harden a bit before slicing.
