<p><strong>What you'll learn in this episode:</strong></p>
<p><strong>What is a Black folks' Southern tea cake?</strong></p>
<p>African American tea cakes are a somewhat fancy Southern dessert. Little round cakes. Light, airy, and sometimes compared to soda bread or pound cake.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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).</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>Are tea cakes African-American?</strong></p>
<p>It's believed that enslaved African Americans created tea cakes to reproduce the fluffy European confections that white Americans were accustomed to.</p>
<p>African Americans made their own version of tea cakes based on what was available to them with limited baking supplies.</p>
