A Cake for Every Tea

by Iyath Adam

No tea would truly be complete without a piece of cake of some sort – and there are so many varieties to choose from now!

Here, we’ve compiled a recipe list of different flavoured cakes, guaranteed to wow at your dining tables for sure.

Pandan Cake

Pandan cake is a Malaysian dessert dish loved by many. Our version is a little bit different than the classic version, but nevertheless absolutely delicious!

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

This is the perfect option for those who like a little twist in their desserts; the baked pineapple and caramel layer on top will have you going back for more every time!

Honey Cake

If you’re looking for a slightly healthier cake, then this is the one for you. Sweetened only with honey, along with notes of ginger and orange, this zingy cake goes great with a cup of tea.

Kanamadhu Cake

While kanamadhu cake really had its moment a few years back, we just can’t seem to say no to a gooey-topped, delicious slice even now!

Rose Tres Leches Cake

Tres leches cakes are all the hype now, but have you tried this rose-flavoured version? The rose syrup in both the sponge cake and three-milk mixture gives it a lovely, subtle floral taste.

Kadhuru Cake

Our easy kadhuru cake recipe is flavoured with just dates – NO additional add-ons – and is perfect to enjoy with some tea or coffee.

For a more decadent version, we also have a great caramelly, sticky date cake recipe too!

Butter Cake

Nothing quite hits the spot like a fluffy, buttery butter cake! Plus, it’s a great recipe to have on hand when you need to whip up something quick, sweet, and delicious.

Kashikeyo Cake

If you’re a fan of kashikeyo (screwpine), then you should definitely try out this kashikeyo cake recipe, made with a kashikeyo-flavoured batter along AND a lightly aromatic, kashikeyo topping.
