Irish Tea Cake

Posted on 18 March, 2009 by | 1 Comment

This can feed 12 hungry people after a football match, country walk or just with midnight munchies. It is low in fat & very tasty.

Ingredients

  • 1 pint of strong fair trade tea
  • 200g of Tropical Wholefoods chewy banana chips
  • 125g cranberries or raisins
  • 200g of dates or Tropical Wholefods bogoya bananas
  • 160g demerera sugar
  • 125g chopped walnuts
  • 1 large egg beaten into 2 tbsp of milk
  • 450g self raising flour

    Method

    Soak dried fruit for 90min in well brewed tea. Line roasting tin of 28x23cm (or half of this size) with baking paper & grease the paper with vegetable oil. Mash up soaked fruit with a fork, then stir in remaining ingredients. Spread mixture in roasting tin(s). Bake in the centre of preheated oven at 170° for about 60 mins until golden brown on top & springy to touch in centre. Straight away turn onto a wire rack.

    As soon as cool, serve in slices. It is particularly nice thickly spread with butter.
