I bought a pound of loose leaf Thai tea a while back because I really love Thai iced tea in restaurants. For a while, I was making it all the time at home with various milks. The drink is really good, but I wanted to find something else to try. I found a Thai tea cake with custard recipe. The cake is pretty straightforward, even though I had to buy a new pan. You just steep the tea in some warm milk before incorporating into the cake.

For the custard, I couldn't find sweetened condensed milk, only sweetened condensed coconut milk. I felt that was perhaps a more fitting alternative anyway. The custard was pretty standard as well. However, it uses 6 egg yolks, so I didn't actually reduce my unused pantry ingredients with all the extra egg whites sitting around.

This is a really great desert. The cake becomes a nice orange color and the coconut custard awesome. I only wish that the tea flavor were stronger. You have to eat the cake without any custard to get any hint of tea.
