Madeira cakes are not originated from the Madeira Islands, they are an English invention. It was named Madeira cake probably due to the fact in the good old days that this cake was served with the Madeira Wine. Madeira cake has a firm but light texture unlike the normal pound cake. The home made version tastes a lot better than the pre-packed supermarket ones I had when I was little. It is such an easy cake to make. However, this cake is not one of my hubby's favourite, so it might be a very long time before my next attempt at making this.
