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).
