Best Irish Tea Brack Recipe | Tea Cake | Barmbrack

Best Irish Tea Brack Recipe.
Some also refer to this as Barmbrack, Bairín Breac or Tea Cake. There are a few versions of it containing mixed peel, glaced cherries, lemon juice and other delights. There’s also a yeasted Barmbrack which is common at Halloween. I’ll cover that later this year
Chris’s Irish Tea Brack
300g Mixed dried fruit
200ml of Cold Tea
100ml of Guinness
A Drop of Whiskey(2-3 tbsp)
1 Large Egg
75g Dark Brown Sugar
240g of Plain Flour
2tsp of Baking Powder
2tsp of Mixed Spice
Baked in a 2lb/900g tin for 50 minutes at 180C Conventional Oven
The Guinness and Whiskey are optional. Just go with 300ml of Tea instead if you prefer that

    That's a fine looking tea back Chris. I might give it a bash. The ones you buy in the shops are about a third of the size of your 2 pound one, but probably cost twice as much.
