Best English Coconut Tea Loaf Recipes
OLD FASHIONED ENGLISH TEA LOAF
It might be old-fashioned, but tea loaf rocks! It's perfect for serving for 'elevenses' or as a mid-afternoon 'pick me up'. It also makes a delicious after-school and travel snack. It's incredibly easy to make. You simply soak the dried fruit in a cup of tea for a few hours, then mix all the ingredients together and bake.

Steps:
- Soak the dried fruit in the brewed tea for 4-5 hours (can be left overnight).

- Pre-heat the oven to 160C (160C for fan also) / 325F.
- Tip the dried fruit and any remaining tea into a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar and marmalade/jam. Sift in the flour, baking powder and spice. Tip any remaining wheatgerm from the sieve into the bowl. Add 3 TBSP water and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and level the top.
- Bake for 1¼ hours, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave to rest in the tin for 30 minutes or so, then transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
- Stored in an airtight container, the loaf will keep for up to five days in the fridge. It also freezes well.
COCONUT LOAF
Recipe came from a Quick Cooking Magazine in 2002. I just got around to trying it today! I used it instead of the usual recipe for 'shortcakes' Wow it was great with strawberries and cream! I think next time instead of the milk, I might try pineapple juice.

MY GRANDMOTHER'S FAT FREE ENGLISH TEA LOAF - BREAD
This is my grandmother's recipe which I have adapted slightly - my Mum also makes this regularly! There is no fat, butter or oil in this lovely, moist Tea Bread, making it a treat that can be enjoyed on a regular basis. Feel free to use your favourite tea, I often make this with Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong. Also make sure that the fruit soaks for at least 12 hours - that's what plumps up the fruit and keeps this Tea Bread so moist. I have never felt the need to add spices, the taste of the tea and the fruit is tasty enough. This makes two loaves - they keep well in a tin or can be frozen with great success.

Steps:
- You will need two 1 lb (450 g) loaf tins (6 x 4 x 2 1/2 inches), the bases lined with greaseproof paper (parchment).
- The evening before you want to bake these loaves, place all the fruits, including the candied peel, in a bowl, then dissolve the sugar in the hot tea, pour this over the fruits, cover the bowl and leave it overnight.
- Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 3, 325°F/170°C.
- Beat the egg and add the milk.
- Add the beaten egg & milk mixture to the bowl containing the fruits. Then sift in the flour, and mix them together well.
- Now divide the mixture between the prepared loaf tins and bake them in the centre of the oven for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until they feel springy in the centre.
- Then straight away, loosen them with a palette knife and turn them out on to a wire rack to cool.
- Store in an airtight tin or cover with extra greaseproof paper and freeze. (For up to 3 months).
- These are great sliced, toasted and served with butter as a tea-time snack.
