The Easiest Fat Free Moist Tea Loaf Recipe
A super easy Tea Loaf recipe with no fat and low sugar. This fruit tea loaf recipe is quite possibly the easiest cake recipe you will ever make. Soak the fruit overnight then the next morning just stir in a beaten egg and flour & cook in the oven. That's it! You've got a lovely moist tea loaf.
Also called Irish Fruit Loaf or Irish Tea Loaf, I make this recipe about once a week as it's so handy. I love the fact that after soaking the fruit, I can make it in just 5 minutes! Like all dried fruit cakes, it also keeps well for several weeks. This fruit loaf recipe makes 10 - 12 slices.
INGREDIENTS FOR TEA LOAF
▢380 g dried mixed fruit Fairtrade
▢50 g golden caster sugar Fairtrade
▢1 egg organic, large, beaten
▢225 g self-raising flour organic
▢150 ml hot tea traditional black tea, Fairtrade,
Compared to other cakes and even other fruit cakes, it also contains a low amount of sugar at 50g for the entire loaf. This works out around just 1 teaspoon per slice. It is also a Fat Free Tea Loaf as the recipe doesn't contain any butter or other fats. This makes it an ideal snack for after school or added to lunch boxes.
A tea loaf is a traditional British fruit cake, sometimes also called Irish Tea Loaf. It's made with dried mixed fruit such as sultanas, raisins and candied peel and moistened with black tea. I think this is why we consider it a traditional British cake. We do all love our tea! Some recipes will call for Earl Grey, which will give it a distinct flavour, but any black tea will do. Just use your usual brew.
The dried fruit is soaked in the tea overnight. This makes the loaf nice and moist and plumps up the fruit. Pour over enough tea to just cover the fruit. I've given a guide in the recipe of 150ml of tea, but actually I never measure it. You also don't need to pour off any of the tea that remains the next morning. The dried fruit will have absorbed some of the tea, but not all. The cake will cook for about 1 hour and 10 minutes. If it is very moist, it may need a little longer. You will know if the cake is cooked properly by sticking a fork into the middle of your cake. If the fork comes out clean, your tea loaf is cooked. Traditionally, a fruit tea loaf like this would be served for Afternoon tea, with, you guessed it, a nice cup of tea.
If you want to spice up your Tea Loaf a little, you can add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or All Spice. You can also add some chopped nuts or even glace cherries for a glace cherry loaf cake.
A Tea Loaf will keep very well stored in an airtight container in your cupboard for about 2-3 weeks. If it starts to go a little dry, you can spread it with butter. It also freezes well. To freeze it, wrap it up well to prevent freezer burn. It will keep for about 6 months. De-frost your tea loaf at room temperature for about 4 hours.

Barm Brack (Barmbrack) - Irish Tea Loaf
Barm Brack, traditionally eaten at Halloween is a lovely fruity loaf cake. I find it ideal at any time, with tea and sometimes with butter spread on it. As the spices and fruit can be changed to suit what may be in the cupboard this is great for these trying times.
