In Devon and Cornwall, folks argue over whether the cream or jam goes on first, but these West Country treats are winners however you serve them.
Scones are found in various guises all around Britain. Earlier versions tended to be baked as one large cake and broken into wedges later – Northumberland’s “singing hinny” is one surviving example. Scones, clotted cream and jam are a match made in heaven – or, rather, in an abbey, as this teatime delight is said to have first been offered by the monks of Tavistock Abbey in 1105 to the Earl of Devon and local workers as thanks for restoring their monastery.
Please everyone with this classic moist carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. It makes a most elegant wedding cake. A garnish of beautiful fresh flowers adds a splendid touch that's worthy of the occasion. Make one batch for the top tier of the wedding cake and a double batch for the bottom one.
You can either use fancy molasses or cooking molasses in this recipe. The difference? Fancy molasses is light in colour and has a mild sweet taste. Cooking molasses is more robust and intense but can still be used interchangeably in recipes that call for fancy.
This two-tiered wedding cake is beautiful in its simplicity and classic style. Use double-sided tape to attach the ribbon ends at the back of the cake and be sure to wrap the stems of the flowers with floral tape before inserting them into the cake.
This simple yet stunning cake gets a subtle hint of floral flavour from a touch of honey in the batter. Choose your honey wisely: The more flavourful and aromatic it is, the more it will come through in your cake.
