Bakes for Your Afternoon Tea Break

An excuse to slow down on the days we need it most. [logo]( Recipe Inspiration with Tatiana Batch 441 [Señorita Bread]( In a perfect world, I'd spend my late afternoons leisurely sipping tea with a tower of dainty finger foods and bite-sized tartlets. But in reality, my tea breaks look more like a cookie swaddled in a napkin, resting on my home office desk. Though, I'm making more of an effort to take a realistic afternoon tea break more to the tune of everyday merienda or fika — eaten at my kitchen table, away from screens, and taking a few moments to slow down. [Señorita Bread]( is a great place to start. After all, it's a classic merienda snack in the Philippines, and how could you deny the indulgent pleasure of a rolled bread topped and filled with breadcrumbs? The simplicity of [Olive Oil Bundt Cake]( makes it an effortless slice-and-eat snack but can just as easily be dressed up with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra spoonful of weekday decadence. [Almond flour]( and [extract]( give the cake that signature touch of nuttiness to complement olive oil's fruity notes. Not to mention, the oil also helps this cake stay moist down to the final slice. [Pandan Chiffon Cake]( is the type of pick-me-up snack that can lift you out of a mid-week slump. It checks off all boxes: it's a light, airy cake that's not too sweet, and most importantly, scented with the tropical warmth of pandan and coconut. For something fruity with a bit of tang, [Blueberry Breakfast Cake]( offers a bit of intrigue that contrasts from the typical "cakey" texture. Ricotta and sour cream give it a custardy softness, while the blueberries offer a sweet, jammy burst of sunshine. Bonus: it's quick enough to whip up when you have 10 minutes of downtime. To round it all out, a savory-leaning snack is always in order. Enter crustless tea sandwiches made with [Japanese Milk Bread](. A plushy loaf like this never lasts long in my house, thanks to its feathery-light crumb and extra boost of flavor from [Baker's Special Dry Milk](.
