Hello I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this cake that I love as it's driving me mad. It used be served at school when i was younger and have now started buying it all the time from the college refrectory. It's sold as 'shortbread' but it's definitely not as it's much lighter, thicker and bigger in size, and it's very crumbly. It also nearly always has glace cherries in it. I just can't figure out what it is otherwise I'd look for a recipe and it never appears in any shops anywhere. I only seem to find it in school/college/work/hospital canteens but never in shops or resturants. It's sort of a cross between shortbread and sponge I guess. Always with a dusting of sugar on the top. Help!! What is it?
