My Great Grandmother used to bake a wonderful seed cake. - never had
one as good since.
Tea breads, Dundee cake, Rich Fruit cake, or even a Victoria Sponge
cake (most appropriate and undecorated of course) - apparently she
was quite fond of this - would be good.
There are lots of recipes around.
Or how about buns - as in " a cup of tea and a bun" sponge cake
mixture (or Madiera cake), with various additions and flavourings
baked in a bun tin (or little paper cake cases if you haven't a bun
tin) - sometimes iced but mostly left plain.

If PBS has any credibility, it seems Victorian ladies are usually serving
something that looks like a fruit/nut loaf. More like banana bread, only
with more colorful ingredients.
