I don't understand how on Earth you turn such simple ingredients into something that looks so incredible, even accounting for all the production help from your video crew! I suspect a rooibos chai tea's earthy warmth would work well in this cake!

Hello everyone. I want to share my experience with this recipe - the barmbrack was very nice and easy to make. To me it tastes a little like gingerbread but much better thanks to all the raisins. Do not forget to serve it with butter as recommended - the bread is 100% better when served with butter as there is no fat in the dough. (I did not bake it for as long as was written in the recipe - 30 minutes in 170 celsius degrees was just enough - so check in baking process.)

Thank you for sharing this wonderful review. Yes, the baking time can vary depending on how one’s oven works, as they don’t function the same way, even among the same models or the kind of oven one is using. If using a convection oven, you will need to lower the baking temperature by 30F or 15C as it tends to be hotter than a standard oven, the latter being the default in most recipes. I hope this helps.

Lets make it! Bake it! Love it!

Coming from the north east of Northern Ireland, and being close to Scotland, it is traditional to make a Hallowe'en dumpling. Much the same ingredients and boiled in a pillowcase for 3-4 hrs, it resembles a Scottish 'Clootie Dumpling.' As you say the aromas and flavours just SCREAM HALLOWE'EN ❤

We make something, here in Wales, called Bara Brith (also translated Speckled/Mottled [Brith] Bread [Bara]). I'm not sure of its origins! It could have been for Calan Gaeaf - which is the first day of winter on 1st November (Noson Calan Gaeaf - the night before, is similar to Halloween)! It's interesting how the Celtic nations have similar traditions, despite having a lot of land or sea separating our countries! Not sure about the charm! I've only seen bara brith as a rectangle. Not sure if you guys have little round cakes cooked on a griddle (we call them Welsh cakes - not very imaginative in the English! In Welsh though: picau ar y maen, pice bach, cacennau cri or teisennau gradell)

Yum.
