Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 12- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 2 tbsp (30g/1 oz) unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 200 g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) soft light brown sugar
- 250 g (2 cups + 1 tbsp) plain (all-purpose) flour
- 150 g (3/4 cup) raisins
- 150 g (3/4 cup) sultanas
- 300 ml (1 1/4 cups) freshly made tea (using 2 tea bags)
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Place the sultanas and raisins in a bowl and pour over the hot tea. Cover and allow to soak up the liquid overnight.
- Step 2
Preheat the oven to 170C/325F (fan). Line a 2 lbs loaf tin with baking parchment or a loaf tin liner.
- Step 3
Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and mixed spice in a mixing bowl and stir together.
- Step 4
Mix in the melted butter and eggs - using a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Step 5
Add in the raisins, sultanas and any liquid left in the bowl.
- Step 6
Stir together until everything is thoroughly combined. It will be a very wet mixture.
- Step 7
Spoon the mixture into the lined loaf tin, place in the oven and bake for 1 hour - to 1 hour 15 minutes. You'll know it's done when an inserted skewer comes out clean. If you find that the top of the tea bread is starting to look too dark whilst it's in the oven, you can cover it will foil.
- Step 8
Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then remove from the tin and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Interactive, hands-free timers are available in the Supper app.
