Barmbrack is a deliciously rustic traditional Irish tea cake with sultanas and cinnamon. Made with actual tea!

1 ¼ cups strong black tea
1 ¼ cups dark raisins (sultanas)
¾ cup brown sugar
1 egg
4 tsp baking powder
1
Place the hot tea in a small bowl and add the raisins. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
2
While the raisins are soaking, in a large bowl, combine the sugar and egg. Whisk until very smooth.
3
Add the tea and raisins to the sugar/egg mixture. Stir well.
4
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
5
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and with a spatula, mix together until just combined.
6
Spoon into a parchment lined loaf pan and bake in a 350F. (180C) oven for 50–55 minutes.
