What is Dundee Cake? A Slice of History


Dundee Cake is a legendary Scottish delicacy, rich with history and bursting with flavour. Originating from the vibrant city of Dundee in the early 19th century, this iconic fruitcake carries royal heritage—legend says it was first crafted for Mary, Queen of Scots, who famously disliked glacé cherries in her cakes.

Today, our Dundee Cake stays true to tradition, featuring a luxurious blend of juicy sultanas, tangy citrus peel, and crunchy almonds, all infused into a beautifully moist, buttery sponge. Each cake is carefully adorned with an intricate, eye-catching pattern of blanched almonds on top, creating a signature look that’s instantly recognisable.

Perfectly balanced, sweet yet zesty, and wonderfully comforting, this authentic Scottish bake is ideal for any occasion, from afternoon tea to special celebrations.
