I really love quick and simple baking, and since they ask me to do it almost every day, I want to spend as little time as possible to bake something delicious. And the availability of products must be certain.
What's good about this pie? First of all, because you can take any jam here, recycle the leftovers, and it will still turn out delicious. Here I used jam, I don’t even know from what, from what berry. It itself is bitter, but mine love sweets, someone treated me to this jam, I kept it for the time being, and did not throw it away. But if no one wanted to eat it in its pure form, then it’s fine in a pie, the pies went with a bang!! The main thing is to control the amount of sugar; if the jam itself is sweet, then you can use a little less sugar. If it’s bitter, like mine, then add a little.
Another main component here is ordinary tea leaves, and that is always there. Plus sugar, flour, eggs and soda (or baking powder) - that's the whole simple list of products.
For variety, you can add nuts, candied fruits, and raisins. For taste you can add cinnamon, cordamom, vanilla.


Preparing the dough is quite simple - first add soda or baking powder to the jam, then sugar, egg and vegetable oil. Beat everything with a mixer.


Then I pour 0.5 cups of tea leaves into the dough and mix again.


Pour the flour in parts, mix, the dough should be quite thick. Depending on the jam (thick or thin), the amount of flour may vary.


Well, since this time I decided to add candied fruits to the pie, now it’s their turn. Add as much as you want and mix.


I used a springform pan, greased it with oil, poured in the dough and put it in a preheated oven. Temperature 190 degrees, 35-40 minutes.
Readiness to check as always with a toothpick.


The pie turns out a little moist inside, so you don’t need to bother with the soaking and cream. I don’t cut it into two layers, I just cover it on top with the prepared icing from the bag. Or you can just sprinkle powdered sugar on top.


Decorate with glaze, sprinkle with candied fruits and coconut flakes and that’s it, the cake is ready.

This Lenten pie with tea leaves is so easy to prepare that even the most inexperienced housewife can do it. If there is nothing special in the refrigerator, but you want something tasty, then this recipe is perfect. It’s not for nothing that it is also called student pie with tea leaves. My step-by-step recipe with photos will help you bake this quick dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tea bag;
  • 1 tsp. soda;
  • 3 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
  • 1 glass of boiling water;
  • 1 cup of sugar;
  • 400 grams of flour.

How to make a pie without eggs using tea leaves and soda

Brew a tea bag and let it brew and cool.

Mix all dry ingredients: sugar, soda, flour.

Add oil and a glass of tea leaves.

Mix thoroughly. You can beat it with a mixer.

Lenten pie dough should be similar in consistency to sour cream.

Let it brew for half an hour. If you need to bake a pie very quickly, then it is not necessary to insist. Place the dough either on a baking sheet or, as in my case, in a multicooker bowl.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at standard 180 degrees. In the multicooker, set the baking mode and cook for 25-35 minutes. After the allotted time has passed, we take out the tea leaves pie.

Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

If desired, you can add jam or jam to the dough - 3 tbsp. l. You can also add raisins, seeds, berries, and nuts.

You can serve the finished dish with tea, coffee, after pouring condensed milk, hot chocolate or icing. Instead of condensed milk, you can serve any jam, jam, or jelly. If you want something more festive, then you need to cut the cold steamed pie into several layers and spread between them with any filling you like. As a result of these simple steps, you will get a delicious and quick cake.

Today I propose to prepare a simple, but incredibly tasty and juicy tea cake, according to a traditional English recipe. The name “tea” very accurately conveys its essence - this cake is literally soaked in aromatic Earl Gray tea.

A little tea is added to the dough, the fruit filling for the pie is infused in it, and to top it off, the finished pie is soaked in tea and sugar syrup. Reading the recipe for the first time, the thought may even creep in: isn’t there too much tea?! Having tried it, I can say with confidence – just right!

In its homeland, tea cake has been consistently popular for several centuries. The reason for such never-ending love for a rather simple dessert is easy to understand - just try it. The pie turns out fantastically tasty, moderately sweet, aromatic and incredibly juicy. The abundance of dried fruits, unobtrusive notes of tea, spices and the appetizing, porous and airy texture of the pie captivate you from the first bite. Be sure to try it!

Prepare the ingredients according to the list.

Pour boiling water over six Earl Gray tea bags and leave for 3-4 minutes for the tea to brew.

Pour boiling water over dried fruits, leave for 1 minute, and then drain. I use a mixture of dried fruits: 300 grams of raisins, 50 grams of candied pineapple and 50 grams of dried cranberries. You can also use only raisins and add other dried fruits to taste.

Grate the zest of 1 lemon or lime and add to the dried fruit. Remove the bags and pour hot tea over the dried fruits. Leave the mixture for several hours or overnight to allow the dried fruits to soak in the tea. I prepare this mixture a day before baking the pie.

Combine eggs and sugar. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and a light, airy mixture is obtained.

Add tea and dried fruit mixture. Mix everything thoroughly.

Add spices: vanilla sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon, as well as the juice of half an orange. Mix everything well again.

Add a pinch of salt and gradually, stirring, add sifted wheat flour in small portions. Mix about half the flour into the dough, add 2 tsp. with a heap of baking powder.

Then add the remaining flour to the dough and mix everything thoroughly. You should have a very thick, viscous dough.

Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and line with baking paper. Place the dough in a mold, place the pie in a preheated oven at 160 degrees and bake for 60-70 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the syrup for soaking. Brew 2 Earl Gray tea bags in 200 ml boiling water. Leave the tea for 3-4 minutes to steep. Mix the prepared tea with the juice and zest of half an orange. Add sugar.

Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes until it has reduced by half. Do not stir the syrup during the process, but if necessary, simply shake the container slightly.

Test the cake for doneness by inserting a wooden skewer into the center. If the skewer comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Prick the surface of the hot cake frequently with a wooden skewer and then pour the prepared syrup over the cake. Allow the syrup to be completely absorbed and then transfer the tea cake to a wire rack to cool.

Sprinkle the finished pie with powdered sugar or decorate as desired.

The tea cake is ready. Bon appetit!

In almost any home there is always tea and some kind of jam. These ingredients can be used to make a delicious dessert without adding yeast or baking powder.

To prepare the pie, use apple, cherry or any other jam of your choice.

  1. Mix jam with soda, add egg, salt, sugar, melted butter. Pour in a strong brew of black tea.
  2. Add flour in small portions, kneading the dough well. It should be homogeneous, with a consistency reminiscent of thick sour cream.
  3. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes. until done in a hot oven. If desired, you can sprinkle the finished cake with powdered sugar.

To reduce the calorie content of the dessert, you can replace some of the flour with bran. This will have virtually no effect on the taste, but the pie will become lighter and healthier. You can also add spices, such as cardamom. This will make the cake look like gingerbread.

Tea cake recipe with honey

You can use honey rather than jam as the main ingredient. It will turn out no less tasty. To prepare you will need:

  • 1.5 tbsp. flour;
  • 1 egg;
  • 1 tbsp. Sahara;
  • 1 tsp. soda;
  • 1 tbsp. black tea;
  • 1 tbsp. l. honey

Cooking method:

  1. Beat eggs with sugar with a fork or whisk. Add soda and add flour in small portions.
  2. Next, gradually pour in the tea, kneading into a smooth, homogeneous dough. Add honey last. It should be liquid. If the honey is candied, first melt it in the microwave or in a water bath. The finished dough should have the consistency of thick sour cream.
  3. Grease the baking dish with vegetable or butter. Pour the dough into it and place it in a hot oven for about 20-30 minutes. Check the readiness of the pie with a match.

Please note that only black tea is suitable for preparing dessert. Green tea, hibiscus and other types of tea cannot be used. It is also better not to use black tea with aromatic additives. The brew for the dough needs to be very strong.

You are unlikely to serve such a pie to guests, but it is perfect for an everyday menu. The pie can be varied by adding fruits and dried fruits to it, lubricating it with various creams.
