Brambrack RecipeOrigin: Irish Period: Traditional |
|
Brambrack is a traditional Irish cake eaten on holidays. According to the tradition objects are added to the dough before baking — objects that will mean something for the person receiving the slice. (For example: coin-wealth or good fortune; ring-will marry within the year; bean-poverty; pea-will not marry within the year; matchstick-unhappy marriage; thimble-single for life.) Ingredients:
390g chopped mixed fruit 
Brambrack Preparation:Method:Add the dried fruit to a bowl, pour the tea over them and allow to soak for 2 hours. Drain the fruit at the end of this time and squeeze out any excess tea. Beat together the egg, sugar, marmalade and orange zest until well combined then add the fruit and stir into the mixture until thoroughly incorporated. Gently fold in the flour until just combined then pour into a well-greased ring mould (Bundt pan). Place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the top of the cake is lightly browned and springs back when pressed. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 2 hours before tipping onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before serving. |
