the madeira cake
Madeira cake is a popular Old English traditional cake. It is a simple pound cake to which lemon zest can be added halfway through baking. It has the appearance of a small loaf. The cake is traditionally served with Madeira wine but it is more common now for the cake to be served with tea. Madeira wine may sometimes be added to the cake during baking.
While the name "madeira cake" is often thought to have originated from the Madeira Islands, it is actually named after the wine that accompanies the dish.
This is my version of the madeira cake (courtesy of nigella lawson's "how to be a domestic goddess").
