Favoured cake with tea ?

[pugh-the-special-one]

What's your favoured cake with a nice cuppa, I would be blissfully happy with either of these an egg custard tart or a coconut macaroon.

Another Egg Custard fan here, M&S ones are very nice.

Simnel Cake, a nice thick slice (with an apostle) and a slice of mature cheddar, Yorkshire or Assam tea.
Mmmmmm!

I'm currantly liking the lightly fruited cake by M&S, which doesn't sound or look too fab but is quite delish.

 

[Latherette]

Fragilité Roulade, definitely

I've always think egg custard tarts look delicious, but sadly the eating has not lived up to the hype.

I don't drink a lot of tea but when I do it's usually because I've got a lovely chunk of victoria sponge cake. Do scones count as cake? If so I would also like to mention the Cream Tea.

I am with you on the Cream Tea , P.C. I think you could class a scone as a cake.
Or any fruit cake to be honest.........I'm hungry now ....

Carrot cake. If its made right its first class.

Not tried that one, but you are quite correct, a light fruit cake is just the ticket! I make my own from a recipe I found ages ago on a "Delia" forum. I cannot find a copy online to link to I'm afraid, but it was one submitted to the site, not one of hers.

I can't find a link for the cake either.

I've been to his restaurant and eaten the tart, this is a custard tart... http://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/marcus-wareing-custard-tart-recipe

My other half runs a dairy, so cream teas are what I normally get. Other than that, lemon drizzle does it for me.

Just sitting now with a heavily iced currant square and a glass of Dragonwell Long Jing tea. Hard to beat!
