1.There are those who would say ‘any cake!’ But some types have a more natural affinity. Farmhouse fruit cake, Madeira, spicy fruit loaf, and lemon cake all have a wholesome and homely feel to them. A lovely thick chunk of farmhouse fruit cake, run through with sultanas and raisins, with its crumbly texture is very satisfying, while a slice of Madeira or lemon cake can bring a summery brightness to your day. On the other hand, a slice of fruit loaf, thickly buttered, should be eaten in front of a fire.
Personally I would do as The Ritz, "finely cut sandwiches, freshly baked scones, jam and clotted cream and a range of delicate pastries"
2. A cake ideally needs to be able to hold its own alongside the strong flavour of coffee. The most obvious choice is chocolate, its rich taste perfectly mirroring the richness of the coffee. Nutty cakes like walnut or a tray-bake with a crunchy pecan topping are also good, while flaky almond pastries, coconutty madeleines, and choux buns oozing cream all have that continental elan. An apricot and almond cake can also be perfect for that Kaffeeklatsch.
3. It depends on what you are drinking really. If it was champagne, then I would say a truffle torte, if its beer then a heavyish fruit cake might be better. For wine, I find carrot cake is rather nice.
