Tea cakes with Apple Cinnamon Jelly

There is a wide variety and texture of tea cakes available in the market. If you go to India the tea cakes are more of a chunky texture much like cookies or biscuits made of flour. The famous tea cakes that are quite popular are the sponge variety often called as muffins or plum cakes etc.

The sponge cake is perfect in sweetness and jells well with tea. Usually, the tea in India is milk tea with all the flavours infused like ginger and cardamom pods making the tea very aromatic. Whereas around the world tea is preferred as it is without the milk and to match it with cakes is quite a difficult job. Usually, people are served with cakes according to the flavour of the tea. For example if you are taking green tea you will often be advised to have a mint flavoured macaroon as it tastes best with it. For those who like herb infused tea then plum cakes with cherries or any kind of berry cake is preferred. For the flower infused teas usually chunky cookies go well with it. Keeping this generalisation aside you can choose whatever that best suits your taste buds.


The apple cinnamon jelly tea cakes are the best and they go with almost any kind of tea whether it is the Indian “garam masala chai” or an English tea, you will definitely like it. The apple jelly made in a very traditional way is infused with aromatic cinnamon sticks that stay like that in the jar helping in prolonged shelf life of the jelly. Peachhut jellies are the best and they know exactly how to balance the flavour. Too much cinnamon will make the jelly go bitter in taste and less of it will not be that impactful. The Peach Hut’s apple cinnamon jelly is a must try. You can experiment with these jellies on any kind of cake. I like to layer the cakes with the apple cinnamon jelly and sometimes also blend it in the icing to give a sour sweet taste to the cake. Usually, I cover my homemade chocolate muffins or sponge cake with this and the guests go crazy. To your surprise the jelly tastes best on hot cakes. So if you have cakes that have just come out of your oven, top them with the jelly and get ready to hear the praises. I love using this jelly on lava cakes as well. The molten chocolate in the inside and the jelly on the outside goes so well that it becomes the hot favourite of everybody.

If you love making cakes then add this small little twist and you will love your regular cakes even more.
