📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the cake: Place milk and tea bags in a small pot. Cook over medium heat until warm to the touch (do not let it boil), 7 to ⏱️ 8 minutes. Turn off heat and cool completely; discard tea bags.
2
Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 4 (8-inch) round cake pans and line bottoms with parchment paper; grease parchment. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
3
Beat butter and granulated sugar on medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Beat in orange zest and vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour mixture and milk alternately, beginning and ending with flour mixture, just until incorporated. Divide batter among the prepared pans.

Make the frosting: Beat butter on medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Reduce mixer to low and gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar. Beat in orange juice, vanilla, and salt. Increase mixer speed to high and beat until fluffy, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes.
