Your favourite cake or afternoon tea treat?

Does anyone else remember the cake you could buy that was covered in white icing? and decorated with walnuts?

Auntieflo -
It was Fullers Walnut Cake and Mary Berry has a recipe .
They are other recipes on the net .

I loved it as a child .

My mother used to buy it if we had guests .
My grandma used to be appalled at the cost !

I like most cake but try not to eat it often.
A good Victoria sponge with just raspberry jam in the middle has to be the best, though.

DH will keep buying bananas and I only like them greenish so there are two banana and fruit cakes in the oven at the moment (again).

Ta! Da! Here is my version of Baggs apple cake for which I thank all of you for your support and suggestions. I am sure my friend will love it.

Coffee and Walnut Cake.

I absolutely love cakes and puddings and will eat most of them happily.

My favourite cake is a Devon split. a bread bun filled with lots of sweet, fake cream and a blob of jam on top!

Very rarely- but just simple scones and clotted cream with raspberry jam. The best.

Esmay , thank you. It was a treat for us as well, and there was never much spare cash going round.

I think that jam pennies made with really good bread e.g. mine, good butter and homemade jam e.g. mine, would be wonderful. Her Maj had excellent taste.
Having said that, chocolate cupcakes with coffee icing would be pretty nice too.

Excellent! Well done for both having a bash, and succeeding so well.

Another vote here for coffee and walnut. Back in the day we didn't really drink coffee but Mum always had Camp coffee in the cupboard and used it for the butter icing as well and then decorated it with walnut halves. I noticed recently that they have now have it in Dobbies cafe and treated myself and a friend with my birthday voucher. It was very tasty and brought back memories.

I'll take a look.

I've made Dorset apple cake with our own Bramleys, delicious.

The OP didn’t want to have to bake.

Another reason to make easy summer pudding. No baking.

Many thanks. I'll serve it with some nice cream.

But Tuaim did ask us:
What cakes or afternoon tea favourites do you like to make or eat? and it snowballed from there.

I don't like snowballs, too much desiccated coconut.

Ps Summer Pudding is a favourite in our house, Norah

Yes! Of course.
But which goes on first - cream or jam?
😁

I cannot make scones, they always end up like lop-sided rock cakes.
