Irish Tea Bread
Desperate to impress a great baker I know, I dug out my treasured Delia Smith book, How to Cook, and searched for an easy-to-make, yet delicious, cake. I happened upon the Irish Tea Bread (I don’t think bread is a good description), which Delia herself praised as being the most popular in her kitchen when she was preparing everything for the book. You can find the full recipe here on Delia’s website. I soaked the sultanas and raisins for a couple of hours rather than overnight and I added some dried apricots. I used a fan-oven which possibly explains the hard crust and sllightly over-moist interior of this cake. Still, it tasted very good and past its sternest test when the aforementioned great baker tried it out!
it was delcious! yumyumyum…the mousey liked it too!
