How to Make Apricot Tea Loaf

  1. Soak 1 cup dried apricots in 1 cup freshly brewed strong black tea for at least 1 hour, or until the tea is fully absorbed by the apricots.
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  3. Grease and flour a 13cm x 25cm loaf pan.
  4. Using an electric mixer, cream together 175g softened unsalted butter and 175g caster sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. Gently fold in 200g self-raising flour and the soaked apricots, reserving some for topping (optional).
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the loaf cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
