Cakes with tea is a traditional British afternoon tea treat. It usually consists of scones, which are small, round cakes made from flour, butter, and milk, served with clotted cream and jam. The scones are often accompanied by other cakes such as sponge cake, Victoria sponge, or fruitcake. Tea is the traditional beverage to accompany the cakes. This combination of cakes and tea is a popular way to enjoy a leisurely afternoon.
