Happy Hallowe'en! Here is my brack recipe. The brandy really makes this cake - gives it a lovely richness. You could use
whiskey or just use 210ml of tea if you don't want alcohol in the cake.
I had no ring to add to the cake this year so I wrapped a one cent coin in greaseproof paper and popped it in the centre of
the brack. Traditionally, the person who finds the coin in their slice
of brack will enjoy good fortune.
Eat plain or buttered with a cup of tea.
RECIPE
180ml tea
30ml brandy
250g raisins
75g brown sugar
1 beaten egg
25g melted marg
255g wholegrain spelt flour
1tsp bread soda
1 tsp mixed spice
METHOD
- Soak the fruit, sugar, brandy and tea in a bowl - leave until cold
- Preheat the oven to 180C
- Grease and line the bottom of an 8" round tin
- Add the melted marg to the fruit mix. Stir through.
- Add the beaten egg. Stir through.
- Sieve then fold in the flour, bread soda and spice
- Pour into the lined tin (insert wrapped coin or ring at this point, if using)
- Bake for 55 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean
- Cool in the tin for 10 mins then turn onto a wire rack.
