There is nothing little about these Southern Tea Cakes. It can be hard to tell scale in photographs but these tea cakes are massive. They are also delicious, rich and tender. Don't think of a traditional puffy, fluffy cake. These Southern Tea Cakes are very moist and dense.
The original recipe from Cookies and Cups calls for the seeds from a vanilla bean pod. I went a different route and skipped the seeds and used Almond Bakery Emulsion. I have found emulsions to have a better, less fake and harsh flavor than extracts. They say you can use them 1:1 for extracts, but I would be careful for very strong flavors, like almond. I think they are a bit more potent so for almond I reduce the amount just a little bit. I love the LorAnn Oils line of baking emulsions. We've used Princess Cake and Cookie Flavor, and Buttery Sweet Dough Flavor in other baked goods and they were both great. I pick mine up at Michael's crafts store. (FYI - This post isn't sponsored, I just love their products)
I'm going to have to stop making recipes from Cookies and Cups since I've been posting them to the blog so much the past few months. I'll say it once again, if you love baking, go check out her blog and have fun making the best baked goods ever!
