Re: Teacake is just barmy

Teacakes and currant teacakes are a different dough to barm cakes or ovenbottoms. Teacakes have sugar in them usually and barm cakes and oven bottoms are the same sort of dough as bread.That was my mums definition and she was a baker by trade. That said as Bob said different areas have different names for things. We like what we call bun loaf which is similar to hot cross buns but I have asked for that in other areas and they had no idea what I meant. It is known as plum bread in Haworth and fruit loaf in others.
