Chris's favourite cake for a Sunday afternoon with a cup of tea!
We don’t do a lot of baking on our channel but I just had to share my recipe for a moist and fruity tea bread, it's one of Chris's absolute favourite cakes and is perfect for a Sunday afternoon with a cup of tea!
Free printable recipe is available on our site:
Ingredients:
150 g (3/4 cup) sultanas
150 g (3/4 cup) raisins
300 ml (just over 10 fl oz) hot tea
250 g (2 cups + 1 tbsp) plain (all-purpose) flour
2 tsp baking powder
200 g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) soft light brown sugar
1 tsp mixed spice
2 tbsp melted butter
2 medium eggs
Instructions
1. Place the sultanas and raisins in a bowl and pour over the hot tea. Cover and allow to soak up the liquid overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment or a tin liner.
3. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and mixed spice in a mixing bowl. Give it a stir, then mix in the butter and eggs - using a wooden spoon or spatula.
4. Add in the raisins, sultanas and any liquid left in the bowl. Stir together until everything is thoroughly combined. It will be a very wet dough.
5. Spoon the wet dough into the lined loaf tin, place in the oven and bake for 1 hour - to 1 hour 15 minutes. You'll know it's done when an inserted skewer comes out clean. If you find that the top of the tea bread is starting to look too dark whilst it's in the oven, you can cover it will foil.
6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
7. Then remove from the tin and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
This cake should keep for a week or more wrapped in baking parchment and placed in a sealed container at room temperature (in fact, the cake tastes even better after a day or two).
Mixed Spice is typically a British blend of spices normally consisting of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and all spice although other spices can be present depending on the brand. If you’re in the US then it is similar to pumpkin pie spice mix.

TRADITIONAL IRISH BARMBRACK RECIPE| IRISH TEA BREAD| BÁIRÍN BREAC
#Báirínbreac also known as #barmbrack or #IrishTeaBread is a beautiful fruit loaf packed full of Irish history and tradition. It is a quick loaf to whip together loaded with dried sultanas and raisins and it is typically made at Halloween time. The name means 'speckled loaf' as Gaeilge (in Irish) and you can see why from the amazing speckling of the fruit throughout the loaf. Happy Autumn baking!
