Eric Owen It's one of lives simple pleasure. But saying that if you put butter on digestives that's also one of lives simple pleasures so maybe i just love butter :)
Thank you Donal for this recipe. I made this today, and it turned out excellent. I was not sure how it will turn out since it had no butter or oil , but it was amazing. My friends loved it. Thank you. R
Growing up, my mom always made a special Irish feast even though no one in our family is even the slightest bit Irish. I'll be adding this to our dinner menu. Thanks for the recipe!! Happy St. Paddy's Day! Cheers!!
i can't get enough of Donal and his videos, he really deserves more subs than he has with the amount of effort he puts in. i have an unbelievable amount of support for this man.
Thanks - I did it without whiskey and replaced the sugar with maple syrup for a twist. I used the mix spice though. The aroma is very incredible - I am not going to taste it as I made it for someone else but it looks and smells very decent. I have subscribed willingly also.
just to say I made your Barmbrack for my after school club today to celebrate St Patrick's day. They absolutely loved it especially with Clover butter and I have peaked the parents interest when mentioning your extra ingredient of the Whiskey. Thank you for sharing your traditional food with us and look forward to trying out a few more of your recipes. Have a lovely St Patrick's day :-)
I’ve made it with only a spoon of sugar and lots of dates and walnuts and it can’t put yummy! I didn’t even need to soak the fruit overnight, just half an hour in hot water. Thank you!
I made this yesterday - and maybe I put in a wee bit more of the Jameson than recommended - but that only made the dried fruit that much better. I let the barmbrack cool; wrapped it up in plastic wrap to allow the flavors meld over night. This morning, with a fresh brewed pot of Irish Breakfast Tea, we did it justice. It was amazing! Thanks Donal and Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Looks lovely. I've got Irish relatives, so I've been over to Ireland many times and always have a bit of barmbrack when there! My parents go more than me and usually bring some back from the local bakery. :) Lovely stuff. I usually spread a bit of butter on a slice, which really sets it off.
This is perfect! I was looking for some traditional Irish recipes to make for St. Patrick's Day, coming from an Irish heritage, and in the process I've found someone new to start watching on TH-cam. I will DEFINITELY be watching your videos again and subscribing! You can thank Emmy for that one ;)
What an awesome recipe! Greetings from Arizona! I have been looking for a different recipe to make for my coworkers in honor of St. Patrick's Day! This is perfect! Thank you for making such great cooking videos that are so much fun to watch!
My mother's great-grandparents were from Northern Ireland, and barnbrack was a staple of my childhood too, even though I'm 5th generation Australian... In fact, a lot of Irish food seems to have filtered into my mother's cooking...
Thanks for the recipe Donal! The ring part just fascinates me... it's interesting how the Irish people have so many interesting beliefs just like us Indians. I will definitely try this out! :)
Now I like this Irish Fruit Cake! I duplicate ingredients and pop it into Bread Machine on Bake Mode for one Hour. I must say I like his straightforward Demonstration.
Loved this series Donal! :D I wanted to make this barmbrack for my colleagues here in Spain to celebrate St. Patrick's day but I couldn't find all the ingredients here... So I made some soda bread instead and they all loved it! Thanks for the inspiration and I definitely want to try out some of the other recipes in this series soon!
Hi Donal Skehan I think that in every videos I watched on youtube, especially on cooking channel, and now on Emmy's one, i saw you too...! You are almost in everywhere... :D
I saw a similar recipe and i thought it was wrong because there was no fat (butter or oil) but i watched this video and it has given me confidence to try the recipe. Thanks a lot..
Uau! Adorei essa receita! Delicioso bolo. Vou fazer novamente para dar de presente a uma amiga. Parabéns pela sua simpatia contagiante! Muito sucesso para você! :)
Hi Donal, I am from Singapore and while we do not celebrate St Patrick's Day over here in Singapore, I have stayed in Ireland awhile back and is really missing the warm people and fresh air. So, I tried this recipe once I saw yours and my kitchen smells like Ireland :D It tastes so nice, and as I could not find Irish Tea here, I replaced it with english breakfast tea. Thank you so much for the recipe, its definitely a keeper! Thank you Donal! The next thing I have to do is to run to the bookstore and get your book. Happy Belated St Patrick's Day! - Elaine
I make this when it's cold outside and you need something comforting for my husband who loves it, but I've never added mixed spice will have to add it next time. My best friends mother gave me the recipe years ago and we call it a Tea Brack and love to eat it smothered in thick Irish butter. Love your channel and your colab with all my favoUrite You Tubers for Paddy's Day....
Did you know at the end the lamb picture is given the title of a Chocolate Guinness Cake? But a wonderful video by the way, it brightened my day after some bad news. Thank you!
This looks really good! Although I'm pretty sure I wouldn't realise the ring is in there and swallow it, so I'll leave that out lol Btw, I've seen quite a few recipes that use a mix of spices, 5 spices and that kind of thing but I NEVER saw something like that around here, so could you tell me what they have in them? :P I'm pretty sure I could make my own mix of it.
Oh that looks so good and so easy! I want to make a batch this week. I love the cute tradition of adding the ring inside. I was wondering if you can just cut up a fresh peeled orange skin and add it in the fruit mix or is there some special way of getting the orange peel? Are you supposed to only peel the top layer of the orange peel or can you put the whole thing in, from outer orange part to inner white part?
What I love about you, aside from your unbeatable recipes and joyful personality, is that you always unselfishly help promote other seemingly competitors of the same profession, regardless in your TV shows or your TH-cam channel, and I think very highly of you because of that.
This is just my opinion but your accent is like a mix of british, irish and canadian (possibly a tiny hint of scottish XD) Very diverse lol I love it ^.^
Hey ya Donal. I've tried out a few cake recipes of yours, and they always turn out AMAZEBALLS! I've got a question though regarding this Irish Tea Cake recipe. The recipe calls for 250ml of cold tea.. but how strong does the tea need to be? Please advise. Thanks so very much Donal! Love ya! (And I'm super glad you met Chef Wan here in Malaysia recently too!!)
So delicious! Thanks so much Donal Skehan for sharing a taste of this lovely little tea cake with me, and now I have the recipe. :)
Woohoo! So glad you liked it! Thanks so much for taking part! :)
Donal Skehan MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Everyone needs to try barmbrack with butter and a mug of tea and they will never look back.
Wow looks nice would really go well any time of the Day with a nice Cuppa" and indeed with Butter as in Malt loaf"
Gemma Stafford I always forget how much I love it until I cut off a slice and cover it with a load of butter! DELISH!
Eric Owen It's one of lives simple pleasure. But saying that if you put butter on digestives that's also one of lives simple pleasures so maybe i just love butter :)
I am also guilty of butter and Digestives Gemma. . Loved them since i was a kid. . Yep fellow butter lover here also :)
especially when the barm brack is still warm and the butter on top melts. Couldn't think of anything better!
This is on my baking list. I love quick breads. Also, I love your videos from the lighting to the angles to your fun personality!
ROOKIE WITH A COOKIE thank you so much :)
Thank you Donal for this recipe. I made this today, and it turned out excellent. I was not sure how it will turn out since it had no butter or oil , but it was amazing. My friends loved it. Thank you. R
Wow! That cake is absolutely wonderful. So easy to make and utterly delicious.
Looks lovely and perfect with a good smear of butter!
Growing up, my mom always made a special Irish feast even though no one in our family is even the slightest bit Irish. I'll be adding this to our dinner menu. Thanks for the recipe!! Happy St. Paddy's Day! Cheers!!

Jerry Permana Haha! I'm sneaky like that! lol :)
If you don't have mixed spice, a pumpkin pie spice or Apple pie spice mix works well. I did mine with Pumpkin pie spice mix.
Mmmm fruit cake is the best!
I saw a similar recipe and i thought it was wrong because there was no fat (butter or oil) but i watched this video and it has given me confidence to try the recipe. Thanks a lot..

Donal Skehan that appeared to be alomost too good! Thank you very much for this recepie, I hope to make it more often from now on =)
lovely recipes!...(UK map on your fridge?)
This looks really good! Although I'm pretty sure I wouldn't realise the ring is in there and swallow it, so I'll leave that out lol

Glad you like it!
More than likely it is similar to US pumpkin pie spice which has cinnamon, clove, allspice, ginger and nutmeg.
Nad Kudo 5 spice powder = cinnamon + star nise + clove + coriender seed + cumin
I am American and lived in England, where Mixed Spice is popular. You can search for it online at any British online store.
Oh that looks so good and so easy! I want to make a batch this week. I love the cute tradition of adding the ring inside. I was wondering if you can just cut up a fresh peeled orange skin and add it in the fruit mix or is there some special way of getting the orange peel?

I've just made it and it was fabulous!! Thank you!! Xx
sandra young Brilliant!
yum yum yumm another thing to add to my back log of things i want to make :o
lydzx1992 Haha! I have a very long list of things to try too!
So who got the ring? :D Love from Belgium!
What I love about you, aside from your unbeatable recipes and joyful personality, is that you always unselfishly help promote other seemingly competitors of the same profession, regardless in your TV shows or your TH-cam channel, and I think very highly of you because of that.
Hi Donal, may I know why the cake is dry? Please advise
Not enough fruit and whiskey . B
Yey! Lovely recipe and your accent! ;)
Zuzanna Stogowska Haha! Thanks!
I would like to visit Dublin ! It looks stunning in photos. But maybe in spring, when weather is better :)
This is just my opinion but your accent is like a mix of british, irish and canadian (possibly a tiny hint of scottish XD) Very diverse lol I love it ^.^
This cake looks amazingly yummy and have no butter or oil, awesome ^ω^
