Afternoon tea is a quintessential tradition in England. Here are plant-based cake recipes to go with scones & vegan clotted cream and a proper pot of tea!
Use reusable silicone baking liners. Keep recipes away from pets, due to unsafe ingredients like citrus, dried fruits, coffee, nuts and chocolate. Read up on keeping people & pets safe in the kitchen.
You don’t really need a recipe, just make up sandwiches with palm-oil-free vegan butter and cucumber slices or vegan meats, and arrange on a tray. Then serve with a Victoria sponge and pot of tea.
