Hi there, Does anyone know the old fashioned 'Tea Cake' recipe. It was a light yellow cake, heavier then a sponge & lighter than a Madeira cake. Ring Tin with Sugar on top. Served hot. Recipe would be great. TIA

Have had a quick look through some recipes can find 2 for Maderia cake both different. Will go have a look in some other books I have and see if I can find one. Is it possible that it was a recipe that was altered and liked (ie some ingredients left out due to not having them available, I have done that occasionally)

TEA CAKE - from a 1970 Waikoau Women's Social Club cookbook - exactly as printed
Rub butter into flour, add dry ingredients then eggs beaten well and milk. Bake in cake tin, moderate oven for about 1 hour. Cut into slices and butter. Add spice and or cinnamon and sultanas for a change. Nice toasted.

Thanks Elliehen, Thats sounds like the closest so far. Hi Darlingmole: Thanks but no fruit in it. I did google but didn't find anything too similar. Thanks for the help.
Cheers
