For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of mixed spice to the batter. Experiment with different types of dried fruit, such as chopped dates or dried cranberries. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt. Store cooled Bara Brith in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for longer storage.

01 Step
Recipe View 8 hrs Infuse the Fruit (8-12 hours or overnight): In a mixing bowl, pour the hot tea over the currants and golden raisins. Ensure the fruit is fully submerged. Cover and let steep at room temperature for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the fruit to plump and absorb the tea's essence.
02 Step
Recipe View 15 mins Prepare for Baking (15 minutes): Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-pound loaf pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray. Line the bottom with a parchment paper sling, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
03 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Combine and Create the Batter (10 minutes): To the soaked fruit mixture, add the demerara sugar. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Incorporate the self-rising flour into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the beaten egg until a smooth batter forms.
04 Step
Recipe View 43 mins Bake to Golden Perfection (40-45 minutes): Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the Bara Brith is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
05 Step
Recipe View 1 hrs Cool and Serve (1 hour): Let the Bara Brith cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve with a generous spread of butter.
