This cake from Irish home cooking, associated with winter celebrations, is made by soaking raisins and dried apricots in brewed tea overnight, then folding them into a flour batter the next day and baking it. The tea-soaked fruit leaves the cake with 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 brewed tea, cover and leave to 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 tea-soaked fruit and mix until smooth.

3

Pour into the Tin

3 min

Pour the batter into a greased cake tin.

4

Bake

60 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 170°C for 60 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.

Reminder

Important: soak the dried fruit in the tea for at least 8 hours, or it won't soften and absorb enough liquid, leaving the cake dry. Allergens: contains gluten (flour) and egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

You can also try this with another dried fruit you have on hand instead of apricots; what matters is that the fruit fully absorbs the tea overnight.

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.
