Apple Blueberry Milk Tea Cake

Raise your spirits with the rising sun as we fend off hungry spirits with Apple Blueberry Milk Tea Cake. White milk tea fused with butter and a dribble of apple blueberry jam.

We have received Gold Kili White Coffee and White Milk Tea and some Frezfruta jams from Lion City. At the same time, hubby is crying for something sweet, and with the limited ingredients I had left at home, I thought of making a milk tea cake topped with apple blueberry jam. The nice fragrant tea compliment the sweet apple blueberries.

Recipe: Apple Blueberry Milk Tea cake
Makes: 1 loaf tin

Ingredients for cake:

• ½ cup of boiling water
• 1 sachet of Gold Kili White Milk Tea

Ingredients for crumb topping:

• 22g plain flour
