Currants are soaked overnight in cold tea overnight and then cooked into a simple cake. Great with a cuppa. Simple and no mix-master needed I haven't tried to make this recipe with gluten free flour as yet.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (375 g) packet currants
1 cup cold tea
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups self raising flour

Steps:

  • Soak currants in the tea and add the brown sugar. Leave fruit overnight to soak.
  • Next day add the self-raising flour and the SR Flour and the lightly beaten egg.
  • Mix well with a wooden spoon and place into a greased and lined small loaf tin. I think these are also referred to as a bar tin.

  • Cooking and prep time does not include overnight soaking of the currants.
