Cup Of Tea Cake

by Liz Honeybun
(Portsmouth - originally from Fife)



1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
8 oz self raising flour
4 oz sugar
8 oz sultanas or mixed fruit
1 tsp mixed spice
4 oz margarine
1 cup of strong black tea
1 egg

Melt the margarine, tea and fruit in a large pot.
Simmer for 1 minute.
When the mixture has cooled, add all other
ingredients.
Put in a loaf tin and cook for 1 hour on 350c electric.

A little tip - I do the margarine, tea and fruit the night before.

Mixed spice
by: May

In UK - you buy 'mixed spice' ready made - but I think it is the same as Allspice in USA. You don't say where you're from - but hopefully you will be able to get something similar. I think it has nutmeg and ginger as well as cinnamon in it.
Hope this helps.

yummy moist cake
by: Susan

I remember I used to make this a lot, one of my pals gave me the recipe not long after I was married (over 30 yrs ago) and it was a great quick way of making something that tastes and smells lovely. I almost thought I'd made it as a housewife - being able to bake and all!!! I haven't made it in years so will have to rattle up one. Only thing is I'd probably eat most of it myself as I cannot resist it - especially when it's still warm. I know you're meant to wait on it cooling but mmmm...! Post festivities I guess I'd maybe better not make it this week or it will add to the extra tight jeans! Maybe we'll have some visitors next weekend who will help me eat it and save me from too much indulgence!

Sounds delicious!
by: May

This recipe sounds easy to make (and quick). If you're making it again - maybe send me a photograph, as it looks such an easy recipe, but not common. Others might like to see what it looks like.

I'll need to try it. Thanks for sharing it.
