- We don’t do a lot of baking on our channel but I just had to share my recipe for a moist and fruity tea bread, it's one of Chris's absolute favourite cakes and is perfect for a Sunday afternoon with a cup of tea!
Free printable recipe is available on our site: www.kitchensan...
Ingredients:
150 g (3/4 cup) sultanas
150 g (3/4 cup) raisins
300 ml (just over 10 fl oz) hot tea
250 g (2 cups + 1 tbsp) plain (all-purpose) flour
2 tsp baking powder
200 g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) soft light brown sugar
1 tsp mixed spice
2 tbsp melted butter
2 medium eggs
Instructions
1. Place the sultanas and raisins in a bowl and pour over the hot tea. Cover and allow to soak up the liquid overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment or a tin liner.
3. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and mixed spice in a mixing bowl. Give it a stir, then mix in the butter and eggs - using a wooden spoon or spatula.
4. Add in the raisins, sultanas and any liquid left in the bowl. Stir together until everything is thoroughly combined. It will be a very wet dough.
5. Spoon the wet dough into the lined loaf tin, place in the oven and bake for 1 hour - to 1 hour 15 minutes. You'll know it's done when an inserted skewer comes out clean. If you find that the top of the tea bread is starting to look too dark whilst it's in the oven, you can cover it will foil.
6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
7. Then remove from the tin and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
This cake should keep for a week or more wrapped in baking parchment and placed in a sealed container at room temperature (in fact, the cake tastes even better after a day or two).
Mixed Spice is typically a British blend of spices normally consisting of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and all spice although other spices can be present depending on the brand. If you’re in the US then it is similar to pumpkin pie spice mix.

What do you think, should I do more baking??
Yes. Yes. And in case you're still unsure of my opinion - Yes.😃
Yes, but not too often because I just started keto last Monday.. 😂
Yes please I've only just found your channel, I must say I am most impressed with your recipes, I gave recommended it too a couple of friends. I was thinking it would be nice if you did some baking, you must have read my mind
What ever you do i am here in this channel just for you. Love your attitude and your cooking. Hope to see you cook any one Indian dish in your own way...
Loads of love from India...
Most certainly if the other recipes are as good as the tea bread!!!
Sounds delightful, love the baking video. I would luv to see more baking videos..
Mmmmm yesss please ! This looks delicious and most likely tastes and smells delicious too ! Thank you and have a wonderful week xx😁😁
That really does look delicious!!
Ur channel is amazing. Love from Kerala,india.
Hi, I live in Canada, our 2lb loaf tin is 9x5 but I know in the UK a 2lb loaf tin is 8x4, which do you use? Love your recipes!L
Could I use allspice in place of mixed spice?
If so, I can almost make this if I substitute coffee/chocolate for the tea I don't have.
Can I use fruit tea for soaking the raisins? Thanks!
Why would you? Do it just like she says and you will be delighted.
Nice Cake 🍰
That bloody Chris is the luckiest bloke alive! He's hit the jackpot, that one.
😂😂😂
True dat🤣
Very Bri'ish😃😃😃
😄
My misses burns water. Absolutely useless in the kitchen smh
I used to serve this when I worked in tea rooms in Wales, called bara brith (speckled bread) it was very popular, in fact a best seller
Bara brith is totally different to tea loaf
I like how she uses metric, oz, cup, tablespoon, C° and F° measurements!
That's every one in the uk, we're all messed up
I just found you today and like your (with love-made) videos a lot! 🤩
A new subcriber ✅
Hi Nicky I made it for the second time but added an extra touch, I added 70g of walnut pieces and it was amazing, took it to a new level, try it with Chris and see what he thinks.
Nikki this cake is amazing .It is moist ,juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋.That you so much for all your lovely easy recipes.So glad I found you on U tube.All you recipes turn out delicious!!
Can’t wait to make this.
Thank You. Would love some more of your simple baking recipes.
Love the simplicity of your directions, going to make this, and I know it's going to be good.
Loving your recipes nicki 😍
Aaawww thanks so much 😊
Moral of the story,
never skip deserts.
Oh yeah 😋
@@Kitchensanctuary AMEN!
Do you have any other tea-time loaf recipes. My husband prefers loaves to sweeter cakes.
Do some more baking hun x ❤️ delicious tea bread x
Thanks Lisa
Made this last week and it turned out really well so thanks for such a great recipe. Is the oven temp of 170 C for a fan or conventional oven? I had to watch it at the end as you suggested as it was becoming darker than I wanted. Thinking that next time I might reduce to 165 C fan.
I find my fan oven too hot for most recipes. As a general rule of thumb I reduce the oven temp by 20 degrees Celsius, and sometimes by 30 degrees. I've noticed that the slower baked fruit cakes are particularly sensitive to a too-high temp. I also check the cake well before the full cooking time, eg, at 45 minutes for a 1 hour cake. Often it's done before time, sometimes not.
Looks delicious 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Same to you 😋
Found this by chance and got my hubby to make it for me- he’s the baker in our family. It’s delicious! Thanks so much and please more baking recipes if you can 😀
I made this yesterday & it was absolutely sensational.....I also made vanilla cream cheese frosting as an extra indulgence & I only used sultanas as that's all I had. A fabulous cake which everyone loved. Thank you so much.
That tea bread is awesome it’s just come out of the oven and the smell is amazing, my hubby is waiting for it to cool down so he can start eating it 😁
And please can you do some more baking recipes 😁
Yes! Please upload more baking stuff❤ Just tried this cake and it's amazing! Thank you for simple recipes like this. Tried a couple of your recipes here on the channel and my whole family loves it. Thank you!💟
I love ALL your recipes…..thank you for sharing! And yes please, more baking! ❤️
Since I’m South African, I will use rooibos tea! It has a distinctive, fruity flavour. Haven’t baked in years but I think I’ll start again.
Lovely to see a Brit doing something down to earth - and delicious! well done - and you did it on my birthday - how cool is that! Thank you!
I agree. Wonderful! ❤️🇬🇧
From your comments below
‘This cake should keep for a week’
Not in my household!
😂😂😂😋
This Tea loaf was a favourite in our home growing up in Scotland in the 60s, I continue to make it and it's always a big hit with friends and family! I'ts almost like a quick version of a "Clootie Dumpling" :)
Hello from Palm Beach Florida my mother used to make this in Scotland I didn't have the recipe thank you I'm going to make it tomorrow
I came, I saw & I want to bake it right away! 😀 So would soaking the raisins in hot tea for an hour do the trick?
As a Yorkshire man We also do this, butter then we also have cheese with it, Wensleydale, Cheshire or White Stilton.
My Granny used to make this. I always knew when she set the fruit to soak in tea overnight that we would be making fruit loaf tomorrow. Ahhh happy days.
That looks absolutely fabulous! Will be on my bake list.
this looks so great! i love the idea of softening the raisins with hot tea.......i think Chinese 5 spice might work in this too. i've been adding it to my quick breads lately and love it.......lastly, i'm impressed by that paper liner. i've never seen one here.
Wow awesome recipe thank you for sharing! Please share more baking recipes!
Thank you
Love me some fruit loaf (any day of the week) I make mine with the addition of dried cranberries. Love it toasted as well - give it a go.
I add cranberries into my Christmas cake recipe, sooo tasty 😋
Thank you very much for this lovely fruit tea loaf recipe, Nicky. It is divine!
I can see that some contributers have described it as "bara brith" (Welsh for 'speckled bread'), which made me chuckle to myself, as I have been witness to (and, indeed, have taken part in...) many jovial spats about whether bara brith is a bread or a tea loaf cake. I love to eat both, but, personally, I wouldn't describe the 'cake' version as bara brith (there, I've done it...nailed my colours to the mast, and with no regrets!).
I do have a lovely, traditional bara brith recipe (in which the dried fruit is soaked in tea) , which has been passed down through the generations in our family, from my great, great grandmother, and it is a recipe that I follow faithfully. It is a bread, and tastes lovely buttered and served with a nice cuppa. Can't share it though, or I'd have too much competition in the bara brith section of the next local baking contest. 😘
More baking vids please
This tea loaf is delicious. Xx
I’m jealous my lady is too stuck up to bake for me, time to find a real woman.
Why don't you bake yourself......for her?
Warren Kelly. Spoil her with a homemade Bara Brith! Treat her like a queen.
Made it today and it came out perfect absolutely delicious, my wife loved it so I'm in her good books for a while :-) Thanks Nicky
Yes please! More baking for sure, especially these types of hearty loaves, sweet or savory. Thx from Canada 🤍
Yes please do more baking
Thanks Nikki. I have a barabrith recipe I've used for years, but yours looks fabulous, so I'm going to make it tomorrow. Just to confirm...your oven temp is fan assisted?
Wowwww delicious 😍😍😍😍
Yay 😋
Hello Nicky,
I'm so happy that I've found your videos; I'll surely try this cake; it looks very delicious!
I usually make a similar tea cake with grated coconut which is also very delicious.
Btw, I think it would be very nice if you can make different type of salads.
Thank you and God bless 🙏
Do you think this would work with a bag of mixed fruit? Hoping so as that’s all I have in. 🤞🏻 I’ll soon find out anyway.
Made one yesterday and the mixture seemed a little dry. Three inches away was the bottle of Capt Morgans Rum (just made Carribbean Coffees). It worked 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Ooooh that looks delicious...now I have a new Magistar food mixer I can't wait to get started as my hands not so great for mixing...and yes love to see more baking ...carrot cake, lemon cake, orange cake... I want to make a lemon celebration sponge cake but not sure of quantities...maybe you can help my lovely ?? Thanks for sharing your lovely fruit cake recipe...xxx
Followed the recipe exactly. Tastes delicious however it is far, far too sweet. Next time I'll use 100g - 150g brown sugar, I'd recommend anyone reading this comment to do so as well.
Just baked this delicious Tea Cake. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing recipe. I added some crushed walnuts and some cut up dates as I didn’t have enough raisins. Turned out delicious and so so easy to make.
This looks like a Bara Brith cake, really love it!
Enjoy your baking ,
I definitely will be making this beautiful tea bread
Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Tried this recipe today , took it out after 1 hour and 10 minutes, checked it and found it’s too runny in the middle, put back into oven for another 15 minutes, still runny,why ,anyone can tell me ?
Great recipe! I love the tea soaked raisins. Brilliant.
Ah really nice to see something sweet - looks like a lovely moist cake. Would this cake mix work in a muffin tray to make little individuals?
I've not tried it but this cake does need quite a long cooking time so might not be best with smaller tins. If you give it a go please do let us know.
@@Kitchensanctuary thanks Nicky will do!
Hi could I use coconut Suger instead I'm pre-dibitas not sure if the coconut sugar is healthier greetings from dublin ireland Patricia
Absolutely fantastic cake outside of Christmas cake this is now my favourite fruit cake. Thank you
Yummy going to make it today for sure
thank you for this unique tips for making a lovely cake for afternoon tea! love it!
Made this 2 days ago and it was scrumptious straight from the oven. Even better today when it ’mellows’. Great recipe and thank you.
Your recipes are amazing. Keep them coming, please.
Made this today and it`s really nice, I soaked my fruit in tea and as i had some glace cherries I added them too. Kettle on, get the Lurpak out and .......relax.
Can you make a banana bread recipe please? A coffee cake or vanilla cake would be lovely too x
I have tried this 4 times, the first perfect. The last 3 the cake seemed dense and didn't rise correctly. Anyone knows why?
My grandma from Yorkshire made spice loaf at Xmas. Sadly she's passed and never left the recipe but I try every year to recreate it x
Excellent, easy and quick to make. Thank you. Can you do a crumble now? Apple or other fruit.
One of my favourite types of cake; delicious with either butter or a piece of tangy cheddar cheese. More baking, please, Nicky, even if I can't make any suggestions.
Absolutely, you should do some more baking videos 💕
We love your tea bread. Do you have a good recipe for Ginger cake not with black treacle but with golden syrup thank you x
Nickie is Such a Lovely lady. Here on this channel Just for her. Love her attitude.😘😘😍😍
I often take loaf cake recipes and use them in my 3X5 inch loaf pans-one big loaf makes 3 mini ones. I did see the note below about needing a longer bake time. I’ll let you know how they turn out! And yes...I’d love some baking videos, but only if you are up to it. Your savory recipes are lovely so I’m sure your sweet ones will be just as lovely..
Aaaww thanks so much Amy, Chris and I are discussing our next recipes soon so having some feedback from you guys is much appreciated.
Any possiblity of baking yorkshire rich friut cake we had it in kettlewell they served it with wensleydale cheese lovely
Nice prep..looks very delicious.. great job nikki..
Thank you so much 😊
I’d love to see a recipe using dates, please!
Morning from South Africa
I had to let u know that
I tried ur Tea loaf that Chris loves & it was moist & delicious Tku
Thanks again Nicky looks so good I try this I got all the ingredients yum I like it with butter to xxxxx👍👍👍👍🏴
Yes please to more baking. You've a lovely way of calmly explaining the process.
You definitely do not need the sugar as the fruit contains lots of natural sugar!
I've made this so many times over the years and gradually reduced the sugar until now I don't add any! If i have a very ripe banana that gets added in and sometimes walnuts and some glace cherries(Ilove them!) I make the loaf with the help of my 4 year old granddaughter!!!
I have made this 3 times in 5 days. I have used light and dark soft sugar, little extra allspice and some cinnamon. each one is moist and delicious. spread with butter on a slice. Yum, Yum.
Reminds me of Sunday high tea at my grandma & grandpas... all her home made baking, would love to see you baking more delicious recipes to try, have a wonderful week!
I made this and it's very good! Could I add more butter or oil for a more moist cake?
I make bara brith often. It’s lovely and it freezes well and is so easy to make. 😊
wow…. a great recipe indeed 👍🏻
Glad you liked it
I really really really love the close ups
Ha ha ha thank you :)
Me too!
Definitely going to make this cake.tks for the receipe .greetings fr Sri Lanka.
Madam, can we use dates instead of sugar - because you use way too much sugar!
Are your oven temperatures with or without fan please.
Could you please do a simple moist chocolate cake
Please feature more baking…Your recipes are fabulous!
That looks totally delicious and easy to make! Thanks for sharing this recipe my dear!😄
You can add a tablespoon of whiskey to this tea brack recipe to enhance flavour
Yes! I think you should!!! Thanks so much for this one!
How long in a tower air fryer would you recommend!?!
Yes I would love to see more baking please ❤️
This is just how I made it many moons ago!
