Madeira loaf cake | Flavour Diary


Madeira cake is a classic English sponge cake which is delicately flavoured with Almond and lemon and is great as a tea time snack. Madeira cake is dense, firm yet light textured and tastes awesome.
This Madeira Cake got its name from Madeira Wines, portuguese wine which was famous in England and was served along with cake. This cake is different from Madeira Islands traditional Madeira Cake (bolo de mel) which is dark, spicy honey cake.
