Bara brith

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

This favourite Welsh teabread – its name means ‘speckled bread’ – is usually made with a yeast dough by bakers and by a quick-mix method at home. Soaking the dried fruit in tea makes it very juicy, and produces a moist loaf with good keeping qualities. Serve it thickly sliced and lightly spread with butter or soft cheese.

Mamgu meaning grandma in welsh the recipe if im at all truthful doesnt belong to my my mamgu but a family friends nan bara brith meaning speckled bread. i love this cake spread with butter and a good cup of tea. Tips, if the cake browns quickly in your oven cover the tin with grease proof paper and return to the oven. although this cake is translated as bread it is more of a cake so dont be scared if you find you'ved sliced a cake not a piece of bread.
