One of the most famous and beloved British cakes is shortbread. This rich and flavorful biscuit pairs perfectly with a cup of Earl Grey tea. Shortbread is traditionally baked with simple ingredients such as butter, sugar, and flour, giving a perfect combination of sweet and salty.

Another classic cake is Jaffa Cakes. These small cakes consist of a soft base with a sweet orange filling and are covered in chocolate. Jaffa Cakes are easy to eat and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth during a long afternoon.
