IRISH TEA CAKE
Like much Irish fare, this Irish Tea Cake is a simple recipe. In fact,
you probably have all of the ingredients in your pantry right now!
As the name suggests, it’s traditionally served with tea or coffee, but it makes for a light, refreshing dessert after any meal.
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!
I have another sweet Irish treat for you. I love this cake, it’s so light and tasty.
It would definitely be a wonderful way to end a St. Patrick’s Day dinner. Or any dinner, for that matter. I make it almost every St. Patrick’s Day and I always ask myself, “Why don’t I make this delightful cake more often?”
This recipe is proof that sometimes the simple things in life are the best.
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.
We like it best served with a dollop of homemade whipped cream and some fresh berries. In fact, it reminds me a lot of strawberry shortcake. But it’s delicious on it’s own too.
I just love that this Irish Tea Cake is so easy to make, but has a beautiful presentation, and it’s something I can whip up with ingredients I have on hand.
Everyone in my family loved it and I know I’ll be serving it again and again!
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!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round pan.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated; stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. If the batter is too stiff, a tablespoon or two of milk may be added. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack, then turn out onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar right before serving.
