Nice to know that Anne:) Had heard of it but didn't realise it was like barmbrack.
Hi, I have the will power to store it for one day after baking 😂 should I store it wrapped in tin foil? Or just bare inside of a cake tin? Also, should the sultanas and tea mix be left to soak overnight in a fridge or room temperature? Thanks

Hi there, I wrap the brack in a bit of cling wrap/tin foil and pop it in an air-tight box just to keep it nice and moist. I soak the fruit at room temperature and it will be perfect. It's actually nicer the next day. Enjoy and happy Halloween :)
What is the mix spicy? I mean what spices you used

its a British spice blend of ground ginger, ground clove, cinnamon, all spice, ground nutmeg, ground coriander. Pumpkin pie spice in the US is a good substitute . Hope that helps.
After making it, you;re supposed to wrap it in baking paper, then wrap in in tinfoil, and then leave it for 2-4 days, in a cool, dark, dry place. Then its at it's best! Bon appetito

Totally agree it is better to leave a few days - I find but have never been able to keep it that long in my house lots of hungry kids and a husband who loves cakes:)
This is delicious but what else can u use instead of all that sugar

Thank you Stella Barmbrack is lovely. I have never reduced the amount of sugar in this particular cake but have done in banana bread and it was actually fine. If you want to make if maybe reduce the sugar by 1/4 and see how it is. There is a lot of sugar in the dried fruit and it may work. thanks
Hello dear. .no need for baking powder or baking soda?

There is self raising flour in it so no need for baking powder - if you don't have self raising flour just use 100g of plain/All purpose flour and 1 tsp of baking powder. Hope you like it x
Wht you give in mixed fruits ?

Mixed dried fruit is a mixed combination of raisins, sultanas, currants and candied orange and lemon peel. I sometimes put glace cherries in it too x
