Like Mother Like Daughter Tea Cakes

A Tea Cake is a simple, classic baked good that is more tender and less sweet than a typical sugar cookie, with a slightly cake-like interior and a rich, buttery flavor. Originating from African American communities in the South. These light, airy, and soft cookies are made from basic, everyday ingredients in your pantry.

The "Tea Cake" doesn't get the credit or notoriety it deserves, in comparison to other baked goods. These sweet and savory "under the radar" treats were born of necessity, and creativity that have been passed down over generations. They have been refined and perfected by different cooks throughout the years. Baking the perfect Tea Cakes is a rare find and a lost art that we wish to rejuvenate keep alive. Tea Cakes have been known to pair well with a hot cup of coffee or tea in the mornings. Sit back, relax, and let the flavors soothe your soul.
