A traditional Welsh pastry similar to scones or griddle cakes.
Student Life at the University of South Wales
Recipe (English):
Ingredients: Traditional Welsh cakes are made from basic ingredients including flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and sometimes dried fruit such as currants or raisins. The ingredients are mixed together to form a dough, which is then rolled out and cut into rounds before being cooked on a griddle or bakestone.
Cooking Method: Welsh cakes are typically cooked on a griddle or bakestone, which gives them a slightly crispy exterior while remaining soft and tender on the inside. They are cooked in batches and flipped halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Variations: While the basic recipe for Welsh cakes remains relatively consistent, there are variations in flavor and texture across different regions and families. Some recipes may include additional ingredients such as spices (e.g., cinnamon or nutmeg) or flavorings (e.g., vanilla extract).
Occasions: Welsh cakes are enjoyed year-round but are particularly associated with special occasions and holidays in Wales, such as St. David’s Day (the national day of Wales) or traditional tea times. They are often served warm with a sprinkle of sugar or a spread of butter.

Mae’r cyfansoddiadau’n cael eu cymysgu gyda’i gilydd i greu cwrel, yna’n ei ymlwybro ac yn ei dorri’n gronynnau cyn cael ei goginio ar griw neu farwydd bobi.
Dull Coginio: Fel arfer, coginir cacennau Cymreig ar griw neu farwydd bobi, sy’n rhoi arnynt allanol ychydig o grisial tra maent yn parhau’n feddal ac yn drwchus yn y tu mewn. Maent yn cael eu coginio mewn loti a’u troi hanner ffordd drwy i sicrhau coginio cyson.
Amrywiadau: Er bod y resipî sylfaenol ar gyfer cacennau Cymreig yn parhau’n gymharol gyson, ceir amrywiadau mewn blas a thestun ar draws gwahanol rannau a theuluoedd. Gall rhai resipî gynnwys cyfansoddiadau ychwanegol fel sur (e.e., sinamon neu nythwydd) neu flasurau (e.e., ekstrac fansila).
Digwyddiadau: Mae pobl yn mwynhau cacennau Cymreig drwy gydol y flwyddyn, ond maent yn arbennig o gysylltiedig â digwyddiadau arbennig ac ar wyliau yng Nghymru, megis Dydd Gŵyl Dewi (diwrnod cenedlaethol Cymru) neu amserau te traddodiadol.

An inglenook is an intimate space typically found beside a fireplace. Inglenooks often have built-in seating or benches, providing a comfortable spot for people to gather around the warmth of the fire. Originally inspired by cooking, but over time, they became more functional as spaces for relaxation, reflection, reading and socializing.

“My Song is Love Unknown” is a hymn written by Samuel Crossman, an Anglican clergyman and poet, in the 17th century. Crossman was born in 1624 and studied at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He later became a fellow of the college and was ordained as a priest in the Church of England.
The hymn was first published in Crossman’s collection of poetry titled “The Young Man’s Meditations” in 1664. It is believed that Crossman wrote this hymn as a reflection on the mystery of God’s love revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The hymn beautifully captures the essence of Christ’s sacrificial love and the profound impact it has on believers.
The text of “My Song is Love Unknown” consists of nine stanzas, each exploring different aspects of Christ’s love, from His humble birth to His agonizing death on the cross. It invites listeners to contemplate the depth of God’s love as demonstrated in Jesus’ willingness to suffer and die for humanity’s redemption.
The hymn has endured through the centuries and remains a beloved part of Christian worship, particularly during the Lenten season when the themes of Christ’s passion and sacrifice are central. The melody most commonly associated with “My Song is Love Unknown” was composed by John Ireland, a British composer, in the early 20th century. Ireland’s hauntingly beautiful melody perfectly complements Crossman’s poignant lyrics, making the hymn a powerful expression of faith and devotion.
