Aqra bil-Malti: Riċetta: Kejk tal-frott bit-te
This cake is perfect for breakfast as it can be eaten as is, or toasted and smeared with butter or marmalade...and it will certainly go down well with a cup of tea or coffee.
Time: 1 hour and half, (the fruit needs to be soaked overnight)
Serves: 12
Ingredients:
- 500 g mixed dried fruit: currants, sultanas, raisins
- 500 g self-raising flour
- 1 egg
- 250 g brown sugar
- 375 g cold tea
- ½ teaspoon (mixed spice)
- ½ teaspoon (cinnamon)
Instructions:
- Place the fruit and sugar in a large bowl and pour the tea over them. Mix well, cover and let the fruit soak overnight.
- Heat the oven to a temperature of 180°C. Grease the bottom of a 1kg bread tin and cover with baking paper.
- Beat the egg lightly and add the fruit. Sift the flour over the fruit together with the cinnamon and mixed spice and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into the bread tin and bake for an hour to an hour and 15 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 20 minutes, then take it out of the tin and place it on a cooling rack.
