Sue's Quakes #1: Bara brith (Welsh tea bread) recipe
Bara brith is a traditional Welsh tea bread which is delicious buttered and eaten with a cup of tea. The preparation time is short and great for people who can't spend a long time standing and preparing food, or lift a heavy mixer.
This is a tried and tested recipe I've made for over 30 years.
Bara brith can also be made with yeast, but self-raising flour (or plain flour with baking powder) gives you a yeast-free option.
Ingredients:
1 mug* strong tea
1 mug brown sugar
500g/1lb dried mixed fruit
2 mugs self-raising flour (or plain flour with 5 tsp baking powder)
1 egg (can use egg replacer for vegan option)
Ground mixed spice to taste (I used about 1 tbsp)
Butter and flour to grease the tin (can use vegetable oil for vegan option).
*Mug sizes can vary. I use a large one and the conversion details for the one I use can be found here:

Chris's favourite cake for a Sunday afternoon with a cup of tea!
We don’t do a lot of baking on our channel but I just had to share my recipe for a moist and fruity tea bread, it's one of Chris's absolute favourite cakes and is perfect for a Sunday afternoon with a cup of tea!
Free printable recipe is available on our site:
Ingredients:
150 g (3/4 cup) sultanas
150 g (3/4 cup) raisins
300 ml (just over 10 fl oz) hot tea
250 g (2 cups + 1 tbsp) plain (all-purpose) flour
2 tsp baking powder
200 g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) soft light brown sugar
1 tsp mixed spice
2 tbsp melted butter
2 medium eggs
Instructions
1. Place the sultanas and raisins in a bowl and pour over the hot tea. Cover and allow to soak up the liquid overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment or a tin liner.
3. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and mixed spice in a mixing bowl. Give it a stir, then mix in the butter and eggs - using a wooden spoon or spatula.
4. Add in the raisins, sultanas and any liquid left in the bowl. Stir together until everything is thoroughly combined. It will be a very wet dough.
5. Spoon the wet dough into the lined loaf tin, place in the oven and bake for 1 hour - to 1 hour 15 minutes. You'll know it's done when an inserted skewer comes out clean. If you find that the top of the tea bread is starting to look too dark whilst it's in the oven, you can cover it will foil.
6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
7. Then remove from the tin and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
This cake should keep for a week or more wrapped in baking parchment and placed in a sealed container at room temperature (in fact, the cake tastes even better after a day or two).
Mixed Spice is typically a British blend of spices normally consisting of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and all spice although other spices can be present depending on the brand. If you’re in the US then it is similar to pumpkin pie spice mix.

Traditional Welsh Bara Brith Recipe with Jon from GBBO 2018
Bara brith, sometimes known as speckled bread, is a traditional Welsh tea bread enriched with dried fruit and made with self-raising flour. It is traditionally flavoured with tea, dried fruits, and mixed spices, and is served sliced and buttered at tea time, and some people in Wales also like to eat it with a nice piece of Caerphilly cheese!
It was lovely having Jon coming to cook with me for St David's Day he absolutely loved my Bara Brith recipe, which is so simple it only takes a matter of minutes...

How to make Bara Brith a Welsh tea cake recipe with Siân in Wales
Bara Brith is a Welsh tea cake which is made from self-raising flour, sugar, dried fruit and berries, tea, spices, and an egg. Bara Brith is unusual recipe in the fact that the recipe calls for soaking the dried fruit and berries overnight in tea. The bread gets its name in Welsh as speckled bread for the pieces of dried fruit which speckle its moist inside. Siân's grandma's recipe is very traditional and absolutely amazing.
