Chris’s Irish Tea Brack 

Some also refer to this as Barmbrack, Bairín Breac or Tea Cake. There are a few versions of it containing mixed peel, glaced cherries, lemon juice and other delights. There’s also a yeasted Barmbrack which is common at Halloween. I’ll cover that later this year

The following day add a lightly beaten egg and the dark brown sugar to the soaked fruit. Mix with a wooden spoon. Sieve in the dry ingredients and combine well 

Transfer the mix to a 2lb/900g loaf tin greased with butter or lined with parchment paper and bake for 50 minutes at 180C/356F Conventional Oven

The Guinness and Whiskey are optional. Just go with 300ml/1 ¼ cup of Tea instead if you prefer that
