Choco Tea Loaf
Things change in our life and there are moments when you have no time to dedicate to yourself. I’m sure it happens to all of us, especially when you have a family and your children are at a crossroads and need your support, whether invisible or factual.
So here I am after many months taking control of my time again... I had no chance to write but I haven’t stopped baking, you simply can't when baking is a part of your 'self'!
This is a breakfast cake, delicious with tea and coffee any time of the day.
Get inspired and try it yourself.
75g bran cereal
125g brown sugar
50g mixed dried fruit
50g chocolate bits
125ml strong tea
75g flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice
1 egg
125g icing sugar
Place the cereal, sugar, fruit, chocolate bits and tea in a bowl. Stir well and allow to stand for 30 minutes. Mix in the flour, baking powder, spice and egg.
Line a loaf tin with baking paper and transfer mixture there. Bake at 180° for about 40 minutes. Cool cake and make the icing in the meantime. Spread icing on top.
Quick icing
Put the icing sugar in a small bowl adding some cold water until the mixture is spreadable but not liquid.
The cake looks different with some sugar sprinkles on top.
