Tea cake with raisins is a cozy treat of Russian cuisine, filled with the aroma of black tea and the sweetness of raisins. The history of such cakes goes back to tea-drinking traditions where baked goods were an integral part of the meal. This cake turns out tender and soft, with a light caramel note created by the infusion of tea and sugar. Its taste is harmonious: raisins add fruity sweetness while tea gives a slight bitterness. Baked in an air grill, it acquires an even crust and airy texture. Such a cake perfectly complements a morning breakfast or a cozy evening tea time. Serve it warm with a cup of fragrant tea to highlight its rich flavor.
