Ingredients
The Wet Ingredients:
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
½ cup of olive oil/vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
The Dry Ingredients:
3/4 cups (140 g) fine semolina flour
1/2 cup (70 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
zest of half a lemon/orange
For the syrup:
4-5 Chamomile tea bags or a handful of Greek Mountain tea
juice of half of a lemon
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup honey
1 and ¾ cups of water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C
Brush a 9-inch round springform pan with olive oil and line with parchment paper.
Make the cake batter:
Combine the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat for 3-4 minutes until pale and frothy.
Add the olive oil and vanilla extract and beat together.
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 2-3 batches and beat on low speed until incorporated.
Transfer the cake batter to the prepared baking pan and bake in the center rack for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick that is inserted in the center comes out clean.
Make the Syrup:
Bring the water to a boil and add the tea. Steep for 5-7 minutes and then strain the tea. Add the liquid back to the pan along with the sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and stir until dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the honey until dissolved. Add the tea leaves and stems back into the pot so that it can steep until the cake is ready.
As soon as the cake comes out of the oven poke it a few times with a toothpick and pour the warm syrup all over the cake. Wrap some aluminum foil on the bottom and up the sides of the baking pan so that the syrup does not leak out and create a mess.
Allow the cake to absorb all of the syrup. About 1 hour at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
Remove the cake from the pan and set it on a serving dish with coffee or tea. Enjoy!

Oh wow what an interesting cake 😍 never seen a recipe that uses tea. Camomille tea is so good when you have a sore tummy also. Love this recipe
It's so good! I like Greek Mountain tea even more because for some reason, chamomile gives me an itchy throat feeling after I drink it. Must be me! haha! Hope you enjoy this one :) xoxo
We use it for colds as well, mostly medicinal.
