How to Make Darjeeling Cranberry Ginger And Orange Tea Loaf Fat Free

Night before baking:
In a large bowl, combine 200g dried cranberries, 100g chopped crystallized ginger, zest of 1 orange, and 150g caster sugar.
Pour 300ml of freshly brewed, hot Darjeeling tea over the fruit mixture. Stir well, cover with a clean tea towel, and let steep overnight in the refrigerator.
Baking the tea loaf:
Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F/Gas Mark 3). Grease and flour a 900g (2lb) loaf tin.
Beat 2 large eggs and add them to the fruit mixture. Stir to combine. Add 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
Gradually add 250g plain flour and gently fold into the fruit mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin.
Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the loaf browns too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
Let the loaf cool slightly in the tin before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze individual slices (separated by greaseproof paper) for longer storage.
Enjoy your tea loaf toasted or with butter!
