Tea loaf

Ingredients
75g/2¾oz raisins
75g/2¾oz sultanas
75g/2¾oz currants
300ml/½ pint tepid Earl Grey tea
250g/9oz self-raising flour
200g/7oz soft light brown sugar
1 free-range egg, beaten
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
butter, for greasing
unsalted butter and apricot jam, to serve

Preparation method
Place the dried fruit and tea into a large bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and leave to soak overnight.

The next day, preheat the oven to 175C/325F/Gas 3.

Add the flour, sugar, beaten egg and spices to the soaked fruit and mix well.

Grease a 22cm x 10cm/9in x 5in loaf tin. Spoon the mixture into the tin.

Transfer to the oven and bake for one and a quarter hours, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Serve slices of the tea loaf spread with unsalted butter and jam.
This is a really simple one

1 cup of sugar
1 cup of mixed, dried fruit
1 cup of cold tea
1tsp of mixed spice
1oz of margarine
2 cups of self-raising flour
1 egg

Put the sugar, dried fruit, tea, mixed spice and margarine into a pan.
Slowly bring to boil, stirring all the time, and then let it stand to cool down.
Add the flour and egg and beat the mixture together.
Pour into a loaf tin and bake at 180ºC for 90 mins or until knife inserted is clear.
Leave the cake in the tin for 10 mins, then turn out on to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve in thick slices with butter.
