Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it's steaming. Remove from heat and steep the Earl Grey tea leaves in the hot milk for about 10 minutes. Strain the tea leaves and set the milk aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the infused milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving, if desired. Serve slices with a cup of Earl Grey tea to heighten the experience.
