Mix the raisins and dried apricots with the strong black tea and soak for 4 hours.
Mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Add the tea-soaked fruit with its liquid to the dry mixture.
Add the egg and mix with a spatula until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined mold and smooth the top.
Bake at 170°C for 55 minutes, until the center is cooked through.
Rest the barmbrack for 20 minutes and serve with butter and marmalade.
💡 Tip: Soak the dried fruit in tea for at least 4 hours; if the fruit does not swell, it pulls moisture from the bread as it bakes.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve barmbrack with butter, orange marmalade, and optional black tea as a breakfast slice or afternoon tea cake.
