LOL - anything goes! I've made feneka and wassail to serve as cakes and ale in a ceremony. The ale is typically a fruit drink of some sort or mead and the cake is anything made from grain. When the person who was in charge of bringing the cakes %26amp; ale forgot, we used smarties candies and mountain dew! Whatever happens to be on hand will work in a pinch.I need a recipe for cake and ale?
Cakes can be any baked grain product, leavened or unleavened. I like homemade sourdough bread with some butter on it, although in the Spring, we often serve cupcakes (hom-made) with dandilion jelly on them. Ale is even simpler. If you want to avoid alcohol, you can make fruit juice (apple being a classic example) and spice it appropriate for the season. In the Spring, we do mind lemonade, and the summer, often a peach iced tea, in the fall, spiced apple cider (with cloves or cinnemon) and in winter, often chocolat spiced with mint. Alternatively, various wines, meads or beers and ales may be employed. Making your own beer is a time consuming process, but it can be very enjoyable. Many grocery stores, nowdays, also sell seasonal beers and wines. Take your pick.
Not sure about cake and ale, but a nice rum cake is always delish!
