There’s something irresistibly charming about a cake with a name like Queen’s Cake. It sounds like it should be wrapped in velvet and served on a silver platter with a tiny flag. But the truth? Queen’s Cake is humble, homey, and utterly comforting—more tea party than coronation. Originating in British baking tradition, this small, dense, fruit-studded loaf is the kind of cake you slice thick and eat with butter or clotted cream, ideally beside a window on a rainy afternoon…
