Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a loaf tin with butter or oil.
In a bowl, place the mixed dried fruits and pour the hot black tea over them. Allow them to soak for about 30 minutes until they become plump and juicy.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, brown sugar, beaten egg, mixed spice, and orange zest. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Add the soaked dried fruits (along with any remaining tea) to the flour mixture. Stir gently until the fruits are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf tin, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bara brith from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
When cooled, you can slice the bara brith and enjoy it as it is or spread some butter or jam on top for an extra indulgence.
