A teacake in England is a light yeast-based sweet bun containing dried fruit typically served toasted and buttered. In the U.S. teacakes can be cookies or small cakes. In Sweden they are sweetened wheat soda breads served with butter jam and often cheese. In India and Australia a teacake is more like a sponge cake. Tea refers to the popular beverage which these baked goods are an accompaniment to.
