This cake from Irish home cooking is made for winter celebrations. Soak raisins and dried apricots in strong brewed tea overnight, then combine them with a flour-based batter and bake the next day. The fruit soaked in tea gives the cake a moist texture.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soak the dried fruit in tea

480 min

Put the raisins and chopped dried apricots in a bowl with the strong brewed tea. Cover and soak overnight for at least 8 hours.

2

Mix the batter

10 min

The next day, add the flour, brown sugar, egg, baking powder, and cinnamon to the fruit-and-tea mixture. Stir until you have a smooth batter.

3

Pour into the pan

3 min

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan.

4

Bake

60 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 170°C / 340°F for 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Reminder

Important: Soak the dried fruit in tea for at least 8 hours; otherwise, it may not soften and absorb enough liquid, and the cake may be dry. Allergens: wheat (gluten) and egg.

Kuru kayısı bulamadığım için editör notundaki gibi kuru incirle denedim, doğrayıp aynı süre çayda bekletim. Sonuç yine de güzel oldu ama incirin tadı biraz daha baskın çıktı bence.

İncir gerçekten iyi bir alternatif, tatlılığı kayısıdan biraz daha yoğun olduğu için baskın hissettirebilir; isterseniz esmer şeker miktarını bir tık azaltarak dengeleyebilirsiniz.
