Cherry madeira cake

Madeira cake is a sponge cake in traditional English cookery. The Madeira Cake has a firm yet light texture and is traditionally flavoured with lemon[1]. It is not unlike a simple pound cake. 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[2][3]. The traditional cake of Madeira is the Bolo de Mel; a cake not unlike gingerbread[4]. Madeira Wine is not usually included in the cake itself[1].

[edit] History

The history of Madeira cake dates back to an original recipe in the 18th century or 19th century[5] [3]. The Madeira Cake was named after the wine, which accompanied the dish.[3] The cake was often served traditionally with Madeira wine during the 19th century, but can now be served with tea or liquors[5].
