Fruit Tea Loaf

Another request from James!

Ingredients

500 g cake mix
250 g brown sugar
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) black tea
1 tsp vanilla essence

If you don’t have self-raising flour, you may use regular cake flour but add 1 rounded tsp baking powder per cup of flour.

Method

In a bowl pour black tea onto the fruit, sugar and vanilla essence and leave overnight. the next day add flour and lightly beaten egg. Mix thoroughly. Pour into a lined load tin and bake for 1 hour at 180 C. Cut thin slices and spread with butter if desired.
