Program Description

Event Description

According to culinary historians, the American tea cake was created over 200 years ago by African slaves in the southeastern United States. Following emancipation, tea cakes became a staple of southern heritage. Today, tea cake recipes remain treasured pieces of black American family histories, and these cookies with a cake-like consistency are a traditional treat.

To celebrate Juneteenth, pick up this take-home kit for a recipe by Jocelyn Delk Adams from her Grandbaby Cakes blog, along with the supplies to make a batch of tea cakes.
