Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

150 g (1 cup) raisins
150 g (1 cup) sultanas or currants
50 g (½ cup) mixed citrus peel
250 ml (1 cup) strong tea (use 2-3 teabags / loose leaf tea)
2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
100 g (½ cup) soft brown sugar
240 g (2 cups) self raising flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp tea (from a teabag)
1 orange (zest only)
strips of orange or lemon zest (optional)

Steps:

  • Make 250ml (1 cup) of tea, using tea bags or loose leaf tea. Leave the tea to steep for five minutes - you need a strong brew!
  • Pour the hot tea over the dried fruit and leave to soak for 2-3 hours or even overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 170C (325F) or 150C (300F) Fan Setting. Line a 900g (2lb) loaf tin with baking paper or use a cake liner.
  • Add the eggs and brown sugar to the soaked fruit (no need to drain any liquid, should any remain in the bowl) and stir to combine.
  • Sift in the flour and add cinnamon, tea leaves and orange zest. Mix everything together, making sure no dry pockets of flour remain.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and level. Bake for about 1 hour or until the cake is risen and a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  • Lift the cake out of the tin using the baking paper and cool on a wire rack. Top with the orange zest, if using and slice to serve.

SPICED FRUIT LOAF



Spiced fruit loaf image

A treat when freshly baked and spread with butter, then try it toasted for breakfast the next day

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Afternoon tea, Breakfast, Brunch, Treat

Time 2h40m

Yield Makes 2 x 2lb loaves, each cuts into 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 15

450g strong white flour , plus extra for dusting
2 x 7g sachets easy-blend yeast
50g caster sugar
150ml warm milk
1 egg , beaten
50g unsalted butter , melted, plus extra for greasing
oil , for greasing
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
50g dried apricot , chopped
50g dried fig , chopped
50g pitted date , chopped
50g sultana
50g glacé cherry , chopped
juice 1 orange

Steps:

  • Soak the dried fruits in the orange juice for about 30 mins, then sieve, reserving the juice.
  • Put the flour, yeast, caster sugar and 1 tsp salt into a large mixing bowl with the spices and soaked fruit and mix well. Make a well in the centre and pour in the warm milk, reserved orange juice, the beaten egg and the melted butter. Mix everything together to form a dough - start with a wooden spoon and finish with your hands. If the dough is too dry, add a little more warm water; if it's too wet, add more flour.
  • Knead in the bowl or on a floured surface until the dough becomes smooth and springy. Transfer to a clean, lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with a clean, damp tea towel. Leave in a warm place to rise until roughly doubled in size - this will take about 1 hr depending on how warm the room is.
  • Knock the dough back by kneading for a few secs. Dust 2 x 2lb loaf tins with flour. Halve the dough. Use a little flour to help you shape each half into a smooth oval, then pop them into the tins. Cover both loosely with a clean, damp tea towel and leave to prove in a warm place for about 20 mins. Meanwhile, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Bake for 20 mins, then cool in the tins before turning out and slicing.
