A classic afternoon treat with a modern day tea twist
Ingredients
-
450g dried mixed fruit (we used sultanas, chopped dates and chopped apricots)
-
250g light brown sugar
-
300ml Lady Grey tea
-
2 tsp mixed spice
-
450g self raising flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
Method
-
Place the fruit and sugar in a large bowl and pour over the hot tea. Stir well, cover with cling film and leave to soak for at least 12 hours.
-
Preheat the Miele Steam Combination Oven to Cake Plus 150°C and place a baking tray on shelf position 1.
-
Add the mixed spice, flour and egg to the fruit mixture and stir to combine well.
-
Transfer to a greased and lined 900g/2lb loaf tin and place in the oven. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out of the centre of the loaf clean.
-
Leave to cool slightly.
- We like to serve ours with a citrus butter, made by adding lemon, orange and grapefruit zests to softened salted butter.
