Afternoon tea is a popular event onboard Regent Seven Seas Cruises<\/a><\/strong>. Here’s a guest favorite that is a product of the Culinary Arts Kitchen aboard Seven Seas Explorer and Seven Seas Splendor. Try it out the next time you have tea time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRUNKEN LIMONCELLO TEA CAKES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

INGREDIENTS
1 cup almond meal flour
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
\u00bc cup fine semolina
\u00bd teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of kosher or sea salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus additional for preparing ramekins
1 large egg, room temperature
\u00bd teaspoon vanilla extract
\u00bc cup sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
\u00bd cup sugar
\u00bc cup water
1 tablespoon lavender buds
1 cup limoncello liquor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR THE CAKES
Preheat the oven to 350\u00baF. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, semolina, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk the butter, egg, vanilla, sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy. Add this mixture to the well of the dry mixture and blend into a thick batter. Divide the batter between the prepared ramekins and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out clean, 7 to 12 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR THE DRUNKEN SYRUP
In a small sauce pan, dissolve the sugar in water over medium heat. Adding the lavender buds, increase the heat to just below a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and steep for 1 hour. Strain to remove buds and add the limoncello to the syrup. Divide the syrup into four small bowls, large enough to hold the small cakes but not much larger. Fill bowls to \u00be full and reserve any extra liquid. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the cakes from the ramekins and soak them in the lavender syrup for about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TO FINISH
Remove each cake using the lifts, remove each cake from their bowl, plate cake, discard lifts and dust with powdered sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
