Cherry madeira cake

Madeira cake is a sponge cake in traditional English cookery [1]. The Madeira Cake has a firm yet light texture and is traditionally flavoured with lemon[2]. It is not unlike a simple pound cake[1].The Madeira Cake is sometimes mistakenly thought to originate from the Madeira Islands; however, that is not the case as it was instead named after the wine, popular in England at the time[3][4]. The traditional cake of Madeira is the Bolo de Mel; a cake not unlike gingerbread[5]. Madeira Wine is not usually included in the cake itself[2].

[edit] History

The history of Madeira cake dates back to an original recipe in the 18th century or 19th century[6] [4]. The Madeira Cake was named after the wine, which accompanied the dish.[4] The cake was often served traditionally with Madeira wine during the 19th century, but can now be served with tea or liquors[6].
