Easy Irish Tea Cake image

Currants are soaked overnight in cold tea overnight and then cooked into a simple cake. Great with a cuppa. Simple and no mix-master needed I haven't tried to make this recipe with gluten free flour as yet.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (375 g) packet currants
1 cup cold tea
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups self raising flour
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Soak currants in the tea and add the brown sugar. Leave fruit overnight to soak.
  • Next day add the self-raising flour and the SR Flour and the lightly beaten egg.
  • Mix well with a wooden spoon and place into a greased and lined small loaf tin. I think these are also referred to as a bar tin.
  • Bake in a pre-heated moderate oven for about 1 hour. Turn out and cool.
  • Serve sliced and buttered. This loaf keeps very well for at least a week.
  • Cooking and prep time does not include overnight soaking of the currants.
