Ireland’s OWN Barmbrack also known as Brack cake

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Ireland’s OWN Barmbrack, also known as Crack cake, originates from Ireland and is traditionally associated with Halloween. The name "Barmbrack" comes from the Irish word "báirín breac," which means "speckled loaf," referring to the specks of dried fruit in the bread.
Historically, brack was made as a yeast-raised bread, distinct from the more common tea brack, which uses baking powder as a leavening agent. The yeast-raised version is believed to have originated from adding yeast ("barm") to the dough, hence the name.
Barmbrack is traditionally associated with Halloween (Samhain) in Ireland. Baking a barmbrack with various symbolic items, such as a ring, a coin, a piece of cloth, and a small stick, was customary. Each item had a specific meaning:
Ring: Signified that the finder would be married within the year.
Coin: Foretold wealth or good fortune.
Cloth: Indicated bad luck or poverty.
Stick: Predicted disputes or unhappy marriages.
The traditional recipe for barmbrack involves soaking dried fruits in tea, sometimes with added whiskey, to plump them up. The bread is lightly spiced and sweetened, with the soaked fruit folded into the dough.
While the yeast-raised version remains popular, many modern recipes use baking powder for convenience. Some variations also include glacé cherries or candied peel.
Barmbrack remains a popular treat in Ireland, particularly around Halloween, though it is enjoyed year-round. It is often served toasted with butter alongside a cup of tea.
Today, barmbrack is widely available in Irish bakeries and supermarkets, especially during Halloween.

    Growing up with siblings in a baking household and even now in my senior years having lived through the rough and tumble of the game called life, there are two important rules in cooking that remain constant: fighting over who gets the end piece of any loaf, the best part in my opinion, and who gets to lick the bowl and mixing spoon! Serious family disputes have arisen over these issues, sometimes requiring high-level mediation of expert negotiators. Could the dried fruit be soaked in Long Island Tea, or would the Irish Barmbrack Police come calling for such a travesty to this variation? What a delightful custom of placing a surprise in the loaf! Love it! I can hear your cat meowing in the background, probably asking politely for a few crumbs of your yummy cake. Looking good!

    Like others here, my Irish Nan used to make brack - sixpences and all. More years ago than tears can fill. Last time I had it was in a small cafe (Scotland oddly enough - though no sixpence.) They asked if I wouldn't mind the end crust. I told them if I didn't get BOTH end crusts, I'd never return. At 80, I still bake and cook on the rare days I have the wind for it. Never made brack myself - but I'm about to try. Thing is - what on earth is mixed powder? At 80, I've never heard of it. Still got some old sixpences though - been through many a pudding. My grandchildren complain they can't spend them. Dear me, how sad, never mind! And - to hell with doctors - best butter on it! There's more to life than not being dead yet !!

    It looks like a fruit cake I would eat. Just need to adjust the sugar for a diabetic. Might add some Captain Morgan Private Stock. One of the reasons I haven't made Logan Bread is the amount of added sweetners.

    I have never made this before,but last night I made banana bread,which as I’m sure you know uses the same base recipe,though mine is a bit richer with melted butter,then again Rik yours has the butter on the out side,so they are probably as rich in the eating.I put plumbed up raisins in mine,and broken up walnuts.I often make it because they only sell bananas in bunches of 6-8,and I only like to eat a banana when it’s yellow,and covered in brown spots,so at that stage you can’t eat them for more than 3-4 days before they become too ripe for my taste,so I always have left over bananas,at work I made roasted banana ice cream,it was always a big seller.😊

    Sounds amazing! We made banana cakes here and sold thousands to the supermarkets and customers. Not the usual cake though - I might make one day for the channel - anyhow that was leading me to tell you - I used to buy whole bunches - 15 rows of bananas per bunch. I would wait until nearly black skins (nothing wrong with the banana inside) peel mash and freeze in kilo bags. Might to big for your needs. However for cakes and puddings the banana is exceptional. Thank you. Best, Rik
