I could listen to Irish people speak all day.... I’m boring old English but my wife is from Lisburn. I’m trying to get my children interested in their heritage. To be Irish is a real gift. Oh! The bread, the beer, the baking!!! Love it. X
I don't understand how on Earth you turn such simple ingredients into something that looks so incredible, even accounting for all the production help from your video crew! I suspect a rooibos chai tea's earthy warmth would work well in this cake!
I grew up in London and moved to Egypt. Your Irish recipes always remind me of home because we ate those things too. I used to bake this type of cake for my dad. He loved it ❤️
I'd never thought to make tea as the liquid for a cake... that is so new to me... I'm going to have to try it next time I bake... You're an ACE Gemma!!!
Oh, I was hoping to find an easy enough barmbrack recipe and combined with your lovely Irish accent it transported me right back to my time in Ireland... 😍🇮🇪☘️ Go raibh maith agat! 🙏
This looks great and, I am going to try this! I just stumbled onto your site searching for this recipe. Enjoyed your presentation! I have now subscribed.

Barmbrack, totally new for me, but I can see that it must be so good and gorgeous with al this dried fruits and spices. 😋😋😊😋😊 Bravissima Gemma and have a nice day. 👍💋🤗
Looks great Gemma ! I will definitely make this for Halloween here in Germany and share it with my neighbours, as we sit in the garden to distribute sweets to the trick or treating kids. The Halloween brack is one of the things I miss about Ireland.
I just made a gluten free version using Bobs Red Mill 1 to 1 flour. I just tasted my first buttered slice. Sooo delicious! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! This will become our tradition too. :)
Oh I'm so excited to try this one!! I asked about a Barmbrack recipe like 5 years ago, so I'm so happy to finally have a recipe from you!! Go raibh maith agat!!
Coming from the north east of Northern Ireland, and being close to Scotland, it is traditional to make a Hallowe'en dumpling. Much the same ingredients and boiled in a pillowcase for 3-4 hrs, it resembles a Scottish 'Clootie Dumpling.' As you say the aromas and flavours just SCREAM HALLOWE'EN ❤
Awesome! I’ve made barmbrack a few times and really love it! I’ve been meaning to make it again, will give your recipe a go. Thanks heaps. Lots of love from New Zealand
I head to your video right after my English extra-class, a little bit late, but that’s fine. Love you and your recipes so much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Sending love from Vietnam
Great stuff, it's amazing, AS THE FRENCH SAY: TOUT LE MONDE EST UNE PETITE VILLE, how the all world is a little town, OUR SIMILARITIES !!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS CAKE, LOL, I PUT SOME BRANDY, A PLASH OF CREAM. HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello everyone. I want to share my experience with this recipe - the barmbrack was very nice and easy to make. To me it tastes a little like gingerbread but much better thanks to all the raisins. Do not forget to serve it with butter as recommended - the bread is 100% better when served with butter as there is no fat in the dough. (I did not bake it for as long as was written in the recipe - 30 minutes in 170 celsius degrees was just enough - so check in baking process.)
Thank you for sharing this wonderful review. Yes, the baking time can vary depending on how one’s oven works, as they don’t function the same way, even among the same models or the kind of oven one is using. If using a convection oven, you will need to lower the baking temperature by 30F or 15C as it tends to be hotter than a standard oven, the latter being the default in most recipes. I hope this helps.
I love traditional food, it's like you are eating a pice of history, so warming😍 Ps: I WOULD LOVE A VIDEO ABOUT YOUR COOKBOOKS! Those that have inspired and you still rely on❤️
This takes me back to being little, my mam and I pretty much always baked on a Sunday afternoon, especially in the winter. We used to make all sorts but we always loved a tea loaf. This is a must, I am going to bake this for them this weekend. Precious memories. Thanks 👏🏻👍🤗
Thank you so much for this recipe. Is there any chance you will show us how to prepare the Irish Christmas cake recipe? I am so fascinated by it (I am Italian) and would like to try to make it this year but would appreciate visual directions on how to make it and feed it! You could put up a video of the recipe in late November so we can start in December, and then a video of the decoration right before Christmas, that would be lovely! 😊
I'm Wiccan and still celebrate Samhain as the new year. I've never heard of this cake, though - maybe it's not as well known amongst us Sasanachs :) Looks delicious!
HI GEMMA, I LOVE YOUR NAME. FOR MY CHRISTMAS CAKE: FLOUR, ONE ENVELOPE OF ITALIAN LIEVITO VANIGLIATO= (BAKING POWDER WITH VANILLA ESSENCE) PIGNOLI, DARK RAISINS, ANICE, ALMONDS, BUTTER, EGGS, ORANGE LIQUOR, ORANGE EXTRACT. SOME PEOPLE PUT CANDID FRUITS, BUT WE DON'T LIKE IT. SOME OF MY COSTUMERS WANT IT.
Thank you for the recipe - I heard that they use to make barmbrack also at Imbolc (February the 1st) - is that right? Me and my freinds like Celtic traditions and celebrate Imbolc, Beltine, Samhain. I made colcannon for Samhain and this year I am going to make this beautiful fruit bread for Imbolc. Many greetings from the Czech republic.
This also brings back memories for me as well. The barmbrack and Irish soda bread was something I grew up with. Thanks for the video on how to go about making it. How do you get the glaze on the top of it? It looks so much more inviting with the glaze. Thanks again. All the best.
love this cake... I will be trying it! the charms in the cake.. we used to have money or a button in our cakes.. if you got the button ..you had to do the dishes :) I have of Irish heritage as well, so I wonder if that where the tradition came from.. Thanks for sharing
I just have one thing to say: YUM! This recipe is very similar to a typical Christmas cake we do in Poland called Keks [kɛks] , just without soaking in tea - we soak fruit in hot water and lemon :)
@@biggerbolderbaking yes! it's not noticable at all, and I think it just prevents the fruit from all losing its flavour during soaking (or at least this is what my Grandma is saying :D)
Does the tea and the zest of the lemon and orange change the flavor of the raisins? Because my mom and my aunt has Irish in them and I would love to make this for them but my mom dont like raisins l.
We make something, here in Wales, called Bara Brith (also translated Speckled/Mottled [Brith] Bread [Bara]). I'm not sure of its origins! It could have been for Calan Gaeaf - which is the first day of winter on 1st November (Noson Calan Gaeaf - the night before, is similar to Halloween)! It's interesting how the Celtic nations have similar traditions, despite having a lot of land or sea separating our countries! Not sure about the charm! I've only seen bara brith as a rectangle. Not sure if you guys have little round cakes cooked on a griddle (we call them Welsh cakes - not very imaginative in the English! In Welsh though: picau ar y maen, pice bach, cacennau cri or teisennau gradell)

Does the tea and the zest of the lemon and orange change the flavor of the raisins? Because my mom and my aunt has Irish in them and I would love to make this for them but my mom dont like raisins l.

Gemma, you are looking so beautiful. You are glowing! Couldn't help but notice 😀
Aw thank you!
Hi,
which oven setting do you use? under and over heat or circulating Heat?
I use a convection oven, so it's under heating. No fan as that's only for bakes that should be crisp.
We make something, here in Wales, called Bara Brith (also translated Speckled/Mottled [Brith] Bread [Bara]). I'm not sure of its origins! It could have been for Calan Gaeaf - which is the first day of winter on 1st November (Noson Calan Gaeaf - the night before, is similar to Halloween)! It's interesting how the Celtic nations have similar traditions, despite having a lot of land or sea separating our countries! Not sure about the charm! I've only seen bara brith as a rectangle.
Not sure if you guys have little round cakes cooked on a griddle (we call them Welsh cakes - not very imaginative in the English! In Welsh though: picau ar y maen, pice bach, cacennau cri or teisennau gradell)
Hi Gemma......your cake is beautiful! Does it naturally bake up shiny like that one pictured or did you glaze it with something for the photo?
Hi Heather! I did brush it with a little honey when it came out of the oven. It added a nice sheen for the photos. 😉
@@biggerbolderbaking Tricks of the trade - Pardon the pun😂😂😂🥂
This sounds like so much fun, especially with the inclusion of a ring! ××
It is 😉
Woohoo it's a low fat fruit cake! Just the fats from the eggs and no added butter. Thanks Gemma, I will try this in the future.
Awesome! bit.ly/TraditionalBarmbrack
Hii...beautifully explained,,,can u plz suggest substitute for egg,..
You can use flax eggs, yogurt or buttermilk as substitute options for eggs.
@@biggerbolderbaking thanku...
Also plz tell me the quantity
....
You are fantastic
Thank you so much for the kind words. I hope you'll give this a go.
Made this. Choked on the ring. Writing this from the afterlife.
Lol! I hope life is treating you well over there.
I first got to know about Barmbrack when I read Scarlett (sequel of Gone with the wind)
I didn't know it was in there. Thanks for sharing! Give it a go then bit.ly/TraditionalBarmbrack
But how did you get the top of that barmbrack so shiny? If you painted it with something - I missed it. Is it the tea?
It must be the wet batter. Traditionally, they brushed it with sugar and water when it was baked with yeast.
This looks delicious send me a slice please hehe!!
Give it a go then bit.ly/TraditionalBarmbrack
