How to Make Barmbrack Or Barm Brack
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, sultanas), ½ cup chopped candied peel, and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
- Pour 1 cup of strongly brewed Christmas tea (black tea infused with orange, cherry, and almond) over the fruit mixture. Cover the bowl and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator to allow the fruit to plump up.
- The next morning, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the fruit and tea mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour and 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the Barmbrack cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve with butter or your favorite spread. Enjoy!
