3. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and combine. Beat in the oil and vanilla. Gradually incorporate the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into the mixture. Strain the tea leaves out of the milk. Stir in the milk, mixing until well combined.
