Tea Cake

A few weeks ago it was my dad's birthday, so I decided to bake him a cake as part of his present. I ended up baking him a tea cake, but a literal tea cake. My dad loves tea and he has raised me to be reliant on this miracle drink in order to actually function as a human being. It's to the point that I can't do anything unless I wake up to a cup of tea at near reach.

I'm much more a savoury cook rather than a dessert cook, and this cake came out a bit chewy, which I have no idea how, but it tasted good and I think that is the main thing. Couldn't actually taste the tea, more like a plain cake, flavour: sweet. However, look how pretty it looks when it was freshly out of the oven:

Because the cake itself wasn't especially noteworthy- it was more the action of making it as part of a present- I don't think it's really necessary for me to write the recipe. If you want to make a cake, I definitely wouldn't urge you to try this one, as I said, it's not because it tasted bad, it's just that of all the cakes in the world to choose from, you wouldn't want to waste your time making a duplicate of this one.
