About Plain tea cake

Plain Tea Cake is a simple, lightly sweetened baked treat popular in British cuisine, traditionally served alongside tea. Made with basic ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and milk or cream, its texture is soft and sponge-like, offering a subtly rich flavor without heavy icing or toppings. The simplicity of its ingredients means it is lower in fat and sugar compared to more decadent desserts, though it is still calorie-dense due to the butter and sugar content. Tea cakes often lack added preservatives and artificial flavors, making them a wholesome option for homemade baking. While not a health food, moderate consumption of tea cakes can complement a balanced diet, especially when paired with antioxidant-rich tea. This classic confection evokes comfort and tradition while being versatile enough to enjoy plain or with light spreads.
