A Dundee cake is a rich fruitcake made with currants, sultanas, and almonds; sometimes it will also include marmalade and fruit peel. Like many Scottish recipes, it has also been known to have a dash of whisky as well. Yum! The cake is beautifully moist with a rich zesty flavour backed up by a sweetly tart Dundee marmalade. The almonds are not just a design feature but provide a crunch and roasted flavour to an otherwise simple fruitcake.

My English Tea Cakes are another tea rooms favourite – my customers love these homemade ones. My recipe is based on several different traditional recipes including Yorkshire Tea Cakes and the classic traditional English Tea Cakes. I used to buy my tea cakes from my catering supplier but I decided to have a go at making my own. I found it wasn't difficult – I just had to allow enough time for proving.

The British are known for their sweet desserts. From moist puddings, to creamy trifles, and light cakes, there are plenty of dessert choices to satisfy your sweet tooth.

This classic plain Pound Cake is the simplest cake you’ll ever make. Pound cake is a staple in the southern states of America and now I know why!

Unforgettably flaky, tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s punctuated with sweet currants and laced with a wonderful hint of mace, these Welsh cakes are simply irresistible!
