Irish Tea Cake {#recipe}

I know, I told you that I would have this cake recipe posted yesterday. I’m sowwwy, I got behind on my school work and had to finish it. Good news, I’m only a day late! Here is the recipe for Irish Tea Cake!

Irish Tea Cake. Easy and delicious cake to make for breakfast with a cup of tea and fresh berries!

I have another sweet Irish treat for you. I love this cake, it’s so light and tasty.

Last week, I asked my Facebook fans what St. Paddy’s day ideas they wanted to see or any special dishes they make every year. I got a couple of awesome ideas. One was to bake with Baileys, which is how I got the idea for the Baileys Brownies with Baileys Frosting, which I shared on Monday.  Another great idea came from by best friend, she suggested Irish Tea cakes. I’ve never actually had Irish Tea Cake before but it really intrigued me, so I had to look it up and make it.

Awesome cake and so simple! Aside from being simple, I love that this cake is versatile. You can serve it with anything from fruit, to jam, to whipped cream. I served it with some fresh raspberries and tea. It was a perfect combination of crisp fruit and soft, light cake. Mmmm…mmm…good!

    Love this recipe. Made it twice. First time used oat flour since I must stay away from gluten. Used lactose fat free milk and it came out light , fluffy and delicious. Second time baked with all purpose flour for my cousin also came out delicious. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for your post.
