  • 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 around 300ml of Tea instead if you prefer that.

    Made this today - had no whisky but added southern comfort instead and 2 eggs as mine were a bit on the small side - tastes amazing (btw if your dried fruit is a bit old and dried up, add a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to the mix when soaking the fruit in the tea)
