Recipe from today's video
- 350g mixed dried fruit
- 30g soft brown sugar
- 150ml hot black tea
- glug of whisky
- 2 large eggs
- 50ml milk (or water)
- 1 grated apple
- 225g SR flour (or 225g plain flour + 2 and 1/4 tsp baking powder)
- 1 tsp mixed spice
Method
Soak fruit/sugar/tea/whisky overnight.
Add egg and milk mixture then apple.
Stir in flour and spices.
Bake in a lined 2lb loaf tin for about 60 to 90 mins at 170C or 150C fan. Check after 50 mins and cover with foil to prevent burning. Check middle of loaf is cooked through. Cool and slice as required 😋
This is my go to 'fruit cake' recipe. I'll use it for my Christmas cake this year but add different types of dried fruit and maybe some nuts as well. I'll also add more spice and maybe some treacle to deepen the flavour and colour.
Here are the baking tools mentioned in the video. Silicon bread sling HERE. Bread scoring tool HERE. Other bread stencils HERE.
It was interesting reviewing the baking tools. I wouldn't have done it if I genuinely didn't already like Sourdough by the Sea! I hadn't used the tools previously so what you see is my genuine first reaction 😊
Thanks again Tammy for telling them about me and my channel 😊
