tea brack

Irish Barmbrack Tea Cake is an utterly delicious, speckled tea bread, much like Irish Freckle Bread, that&#039;s moist, tender, and perfect for teatime, snacks, or breakfast. It is an irresistible loaf that&#039;s quicker and lighter than Christmas bread and is often served in October.

Irish Barmbrack Tea Bread

fruit

brewed Irish Tea ((hot))

orange

brown sugar

all-purpose flour

baking powder

salt

pumpkin pie spice ((or mixed spice))

cinnamon

vanilla sugar

Pour hot tea over the dried fruit in a medium sized bowl. Cover and set aside to soak for at least 1 hour (or until beginning to plump).

Preheat the oven to 325℉ and lightly grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan (or 1lb loaf pan).

In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Add the dried fruit and any remaining liquid. Stir until completely combined; the batter will be very thick and stiff.

Add the egg and mix until thoroughly combined.

Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan, hide the trinkit if using, and sprinkle optionally with a coarse sanding sugar (I&#39;m using Vanilla Sparkling Sugar).

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out moist without large crumbs sticking.

Remove from the oven and turn it out onto a rack to cool.

Thank you for this wonderful Irish Barmbrack Tea Bread, the whole family love it. Really delicious and so moreish. I used golden raisins, dates, cranberries and prunes, which turned out to be a winner combination. Make your tea strong, using 2 or more tea bags for good flavour. Eating it slightly warmed is best.  Freezes well too.
