A traditional Irish tea bread, barmbrack is made by soaking raisins and apricots in tea overnight, mixing them into yeasted dough, and baking it. Its moist, dense texture is best enjoyed in slices spread with butter.
Mix the raisins and apricots with the tea and refrigerate for 8 hours.
Mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, allspice, and salt. Add the fruit with its tea and the egg.
Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake in a preheated 170°C / 340°F oven for 55–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the pan and let cool.
Slice and serve with butter.
Store in a covered container at room temperature for 4 days.
