Nutcracker Sweet Tea Cake

Nutcracker Sweet Tea Cake inspired from Celestial Seasonings with flavours of nutty vanilla and hint of cinnamon. A soft and delicious tea cake flavoured with vanilla nutcracker tea and topped with vanilla icing.

Fall is already here and lets me tell you that I love everything about this season. The beautiful and colourful leaves falling on the streets, the gloomy weather, the cool wind, the sense of festivity that fall brings with it. It also gives a sense of happiness as we are getting closer to Christmas. So what could be better than a flavourful and delicious cake to enjoy the season?

This is a sponsored post in association with Honest Cooking and Celestial Seasonings and I have made a nice and soft tea-infused cake using one of the Celestial Nutcracker tea.

Celestial Seasonings teas have a variety from relaxing and soothing herbal tea to the energising and refreshing latte or chai tea. They have tea for any occasion to make a day perfect and happening.

The Celestial tea that I used in the recipe “Nutcracker Sweet Tea” is a blend of nutty and creamy vanilla and a hint of cinnamon which is perfect for the Fall season. This tea has been named after the world’s favourite ballet, The Nutcracker, and it perfectly captures the magic of the season. As Celestial says the magic of tea, this tea definitely brings the magic in the season.

I made this cake infused with Nutcracker Tea and my whole house smelt with amazing flavours of vanilla and cinnamon. The cake turned out so flavourful and delicious that it was all gone in just two days. I was wondering my kids won’t like the cake as of course they generally prefer chocolate cake but to my surprise, both of my daughters loved the cake and had as many slices as they can stuff in.

This is a wonderful egg-free cake that would make a perfect treat to serve your guests this fall. It stays fresh for 2-3 days at room temperature and up to a month in the freezer. Thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator if stored in the freezer and leave it on the counter for an hour. Drizzle the cake with vanilla icing right before serving and enjoy the magic of the season.
