There were nine children in our family and Mother had to stretch the budget, so she made these often for dessert. I loved them when I was a child, and they're still a special treat. In fact, I've never met anyone who doesn't like these cookies. They're so simple and quick to make.

These tea cakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used a loaf pan and they came out perfectly. The flavor is amazing and they are so moist. I will definitely be making these again.

These tea cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I will use less sugar in the batter.

I've made these tea cakes several times and they are always a hit! They are so moist and flavorful, and the glaze is the perfect touch. I usually add a little bit of lemon zest to the batter for extra flavor.
