Product Information

Two Scottish takeaways feature in Deliveroo top 100 worldwide roundup - including acclaimed Thai restaurant For a dried fruit tea cake recipe, I recommend Waitrose Fruity Earl Grey Tea Loaf. It’s a dark and malty tea loaf that’s flavoured with Earl Grey tea and orange. This combination is a classic – many tea brands combine Earl Grey with orange naturally, including Twinings Lady Grey. Like Chelsea buns, Yorkshire puddings and Bath buns before them Yorkshire tea cakes lost their specific attachment to a geographical English location. While the aforementioned were no longer only associated with specific places before the 1800s, the same happened to Yorkshire tea cakes during the Victorian era. It became defined as a traditional English food. [2] They have even served as inspiration for a wedding cake, with Mathew Watt, 37, and wife Siobhan, 34, going a bit further than the average couple with their love for the Teacake.

Melt 300g/10½oz of the dark chocolate in a bowl set over a simmering pan of water (make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water). Melting the chocolate over a soft heat stops the chocolate from discolouring later on. Leave aside to cool slightly - you can’t line the moulds if the chocolate is too runny. In fact, the company even reported this year that they made a whopping 15 million rise in tea cakes sold since the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.Mallow (38%) (Sugar, Glucose syrup, Egg white), Dark chocolate (34%) (Sugar, Cocoa mass, Cocoa butter, Skimmed milk powder, Palm oil, Shea butter, Emulsifier [ soya lecithin], Flavouring), Biscuit (28%) (Fortified wheat flour [ wheat flour, calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin], Vegetable oil [palm, rapeseed], Sugar, Raising agents [sodium bicarbonate, disodium diphosphate]). Some commentors recommend adding more fruit and spices, so if you like a particularly fruity and flavoursome teacake, use 100g of dried fruit and 1 tsp of mixed spice. If you don’t have any mixed spice, you can use pure cinnamon or a homemade mix (cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, dried ginger, etc.) to taste. 2. Dried Fruit Tea Cake Recipe Image Credit: Waitrose Step 1 With a wooden spoon or mixer, mix together the butter and sugar. Add the cocoa powder, salt, vanilla and flour. Rub the ingredients together with the tips of your fingers until it comes together into a dough. Roll it into a ball, wrap in cling film and rest in the fridge for half an hour. Step 5 To make the coffee marshmallows, add the egg whites, coffee powder, sugar, salt and golden syrup in a large mixing bowl, giving it a light whisk. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water without letting the bottom touch the water and let the mixture reach 71ºC so the eggs are pasteurised, ensuring you stir/whisk so that you don't let the mixture cook and get scrambled eggs. Once it has reached this temperature, transfer to a standing mixer, or use a hand held mixer to whisk for around 7 or 8 minutes, until the marshmallow is completely cool and it has reached stiff peaks. Once it is ready, transfer to a piping bag, ready to assemble! Minimum life based on 'use-by' date of product. Average life based on last week's deliveries.

In Australia and India, a teacake is typically a butter cake, usually ready to serve warm from the oven in less than 30 minutes. Ingredients typically consist of flour, eggs, butter, cinnamon and sugar. It is traditionally served warm as an accompaniment to tea. Australian teacakes are sprinkled with cinnamon and fine (caster) sugar, and are usually served warm from the oven with additional butter. [7] [8] See also [ edit ] Preheat oven to 350°F.

About Us

Several of these recipes also contain tea as an ingredient, to add a subtle malty tea flavour to the cake. Very carefully remove the completed teacakes from the mould – be careful of fingerprints on the glossy dome. I recommend freezing any teacakes that you won’t use, as splitting the recipe in half to make a smaller batch is difficult given that only 1 egg is needed. The recipe also uses butter and milk, so it’s not suitable for vegans. Substituting these ingredients is possible, but I can’t vouch for the end results.

FOR ALLERGENS: The only downfall was that it was rather small and was gone in one bite. I could easily have gone for a bigger cake. Tea cakes are often confused with hot-cross-buns (fruited buns that are popular at Easter) and tea loaves like the Faversham tea loaf, even in the UK! This is because there are numerous variations on the tea cake. Depending on where you are in England, your tea cake may be fruited, wholemeal, flavoured with hops, or even used as sandwich bread. NB: If you have a bread machine, you can start the dough in the machine up to the second proving stage. Add the dried fruit 5 minutes before the end of kneading or when your bread machine beeps.In Kent, the teacake is known as a "huffkin", which is often flavoured with hops, especially at the time of harvesting hops in September. In Sussex, a luxurious version of the teacake with added aromatics such as nutmeg, cinnamon and rose water is still sometimes made and called a manchet or Lady Arundel's Manchet. The chocolate? Milky and thin. The marshmallow? Light, airy and creamy. The biscuit base? Moist but not soggy.
