Madeira is the cake your grandmother baked: light vanilla sponge, soft, sweet rather than sugary, the cake that pairs perfectly with rooibos or English Breakfast at three in the afternoon. The Blue Blossom Harmony Madeira Cake is built for the moments where a buttercream party cake would feel like too much: a baby boy's arrival, a sapphire anniversary, a Father's Day tea, a sympathy comfort send, or a husband's milestone birthday where the gift needs to read classic rather than flashy. Hand-baked the morning of dispatch by our home bakers in our Claremont studio. Available for same-day Cape Town delivery on orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Makes the Blue Blossom Harmony Madeira Cake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Madeira sponge\u003c\/strong\u003e light, fine-crumbed vanilla sponge baked from milk, sugar, eggs, pure vanilla, premium icing sugar, quality flour and baking powder.
