English Translation

Bara Brith (literally 'mottled bread') is a classic Welsh fruited tea bread, moist and very tasty. There are many variants of the basic recipe and this is what could be termed a 'country' or 'village' version. The type of basic 'household' recipe that many housewives would actually make. The recipe calls simply for 'mixed dried fruit' and what you would have used would have depended on what you had in the cupboard, though a mix of raisins, currants, sultanas and chopped candied peel is quite traditional.

Ingredients:

360g self-raising flour
270g mixed dried fruit
150g soft brown sugar
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
450ml cold tea


Method:

Mix the fruit and sugar in a bowl. Pour the tea over the top, mix to combine then cover the bowl and set aside to steep over night.

The following day add the remaining ingredients before mixing thoroughly to form a soft batter. Tip into a well-greased 1kg loaf tin and transfer to an oven pre-heated to 150°C. Bake for about 90 minutes, or until the top of the loaf is nicely browned and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake emerges cleanly.

Allow the bara brith to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
