Hi guys welcome to Marks Irish Kitchen where i make family friendly recipes that everyone can enjoy. Todays video is for a traditional Irish tea bread also know as tea brack. Brack our traditional tea bread has been a festive dish since ancient times. It was usually eaten at “Lughnasa” the first day of autumn and “Samhain” the first day of winter. This traditional homemade bread comes in two versions the traditional Barm Brack or this version the Tea Brack. The difference between them is that a traditional Barm Brack uses yeast to help it rise whereas this version uses baking powder. As you can guess this is great with a nice cup of tea either on its own or buttered. The traditional irish name for the brack is “bairgain breac” bread that is speckled.
INGREDIENTS
500g mixed fruit (raisins, currants, sultanas and cranberries)
75g chopped glace cherries
225g brown sugar
500mls strong hot black tea
350g plain white flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice
2 medium sized eggs (beaten)
A little honey for glaze
2x8in bread tins, lined or greased with butter
METHOD
Place the fruit, cherries and sugar in a bowl and pour the hot tea over them. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved, cover and leave to stand overnight.
Sift the flour, baking powder and spice and add a little egg and mix. Then add some fruit, mixing alternately until all the fruit and eggs are combined.
Turn the mixture into two lined loaf tins and bake at 160c/325f/gas 3 for about 1.5 hours. About 10 minutes before the brack is read, brush the top with some runny honey. Return to the oven until fully cooked.

Traditional Irish Barmbrack
#Barmbrack #IrishRecipes #HalloweenRecipes #IrishCake #TeaLoaf
Barmbrack is a traditional Irish tea loaf. It is a cake or a yeasted bread loaded with lots of dried fruits usually in the form of raisins and sultanas. My version also has glace cherries as I simply can't miss an opportunity to use them. The fruits are steeped in tea, altough its a brief stint in the tea the fruits really plump up becoming juicer and help the cake stay moist. Barmbrack are usually eaten around Halloween in Ireland. In times gone by, items were added to the cake a piece of cloth, a coin, and a ring. Whoever got the cloth would not be rich, the person that got the coin would come into money and the person that got the ring would be wed within the year. Barmbracks now mostly come with one item the ring. So be weary when eating not to break a tooth or choke on the ring.
