This "Black folk tea cake recipe" (that's what they're called!) is an old-fashioned nostalgic Southern soul food treat! 

What you'll learn in this episode:

What is a Black folks' Southern tea cake?

African American tea cakes are a somewhat fancy Southern dessert. Little round cakes. Light, airy, and sometimes compared to soda bread or pound cake.

Tea cakes are typically served with hot tea at gatherings like weddings, christenings, and family events. Or any other pomp and circumstance dress-up occasion (which Black folks love).

Are tea cakes African-American?

It's believed that enslaved African Americans created tea cakes to reproduce the fluffy European confections that white Americans were accustomed to.

African Americans made their own version of tea cakes based on what was available to them with limited baking supplies.
