Barmbrack can be a really tasty treat as the evenings turn darker and colder. And it's good any time of the year, not just at Halloween!
Ingredients
- 200g sultanas
- 50g light brown sugar
- 1 mug of strong tea, 260mls
- 1 medium egg
- 200g self-raising flour
Method
- Add the fruit and sugar to a bowl, cover with the tea and leave to soak overnight. The tea should just about cover all the fruit
- When you are ready to bake, heat your oven to 150oC (300oF) or gas mark 2 and prepare and line a 1lb loaf tin
- Add the egg and flour to the fruit and mix. If the mixture is a little dry, add a little more tea until the consistency is that of a fruit cake mix
- Pour into the prepared tin and transfer to the oven
- Bake for 1 hour, checking the cake is cooked before removing from the oven
What you will need
- Kitchen scales
- Large loaf tin
- Mixing bowl

Serving suggestions
Traditionally a ring is baked into the Barmbrack, if you wish to do this ensure that the ring is completely wrapped in grease-proof paper and is large enough not to be swallowed by accident!
