Description: Recipe here: joyofbaking.com/cakes/TeaFruitCake.html Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make a Tea Fruit Cake. This Tea Fruit Cake is wonderfully soft and moist and contains dried fruits, candied fruit peel, chopped nuts and is spiced with ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. It doesn't contain alcohol. Instead the dried fruits are soaked in hot tea, which not only adds flavor, but also makes them wonderfully plump and moist. This recipe combines my Easy Fruit Cake recipe with the Irish cake called Barmbrack. It is different from Barmbrack in that melted butter is added to the cake batter. And it is different from my Easy Fruit Cake recipe because the dried fruits are soaked in hot tea instead of just water. I like to serve this cake in thick slices, preferably buttered. It is also very good with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese. New Recipes most Thursday mornings Eastern time. Join our Facebook Page: facebook.com/joyofbaking
