Lemon Mint Tea Cake

My second experiment with Tea Cakes first was Eggless Coconut Tea Cake now its Lemon Mint Tea Cake. The lemon gives tanginess mint gives nice flavor and aroma to this Lemon Mint Cake. Great to have with tea moreover this Lemon Mint Cake is made with simple ingredients found in the kitchen. The Lemon Mint Cake is almost over as even my neighbors ate them lol:)……I was happy with my experiment with Lemon Mint Cake! A must try….

Lemon Mint Cake baked in jiffy 20 mins also rised very beautifully. The cake had a great texture with beautiful golden color. I am gonna experiment with more variations of Tea Cakes next might be Cheese Tea Cakes???? Dunno anything is possible with me.

I have not frosted the cake as it tastes great without frosting. You can mix lime juice with icing sugar and spread across the cake. Your frosting is ready in seconds. By the way I am happy that Tina has awarded me as one of the foodie and tasty blogs.Thanks a ton Tina
