Ireland
Tea brack - a.k.a. Irish Freckle Bread - is a moist, close-grained,
packed-with-fruit breakfast bread. The flavor of the whole wheat is
discernible, yet not overpowering because it's complemented by just
the right degree of sweetness.
Interestingly, the recipe uses brewed tea as its liquid - Irish
breakfast tea is a good choice. If desired, substitute 2 tablespoons
Irish whiskey for an equal amount of the tea. Quick and easy whole
grain dairy free.
PREP: 10 mins. to 15 mins
BAKE: 60 mins. to 1 hrs 10 mins
TOTAL: 2:20. to 2:25
YIELD: 8" round cake
Pour the hot tea over the dried fruits in a medium-sized bowl. Set
the mixture aside to cool to lukewarm, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 325F. Lightly grease an 8" x 2" round cake pan.
If your pan isn't at least 2" deep, use a 9" round pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the brown sugar, flour, baking
powder, and salt.
Add the dried fruit, and any remaining liquid. Stir till thoroughly
combined; the batter will be thick and stiff.
Add the egg, mixing till thoroughly combined.
Spread the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top evenly
with the coarse sparkling sugar.
Bake the bread for 60 to 70 minutes, till a cake tester inserted in
the center comes out moist, but without clinging crumbs.
Remove it from the oven, and turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool.
