teacake
Light British pastry
A teacake is a small, lightly sweetened bread or cake served with tea.
In Britain, it typically refers to a round yeast bun containing dried fruit, often toasted and buttered: We had teacakes with our afternoon tea.
In the American South, teacakes are simple sugar cookies, a traditional homemade treat.
