INGREDIENT NOTES:

HOT BREWED TEA:

  • As you know, we are making a tea loaf, so tea will be the main component. It’s your choice to choose between black and herbal tea. The mixed dried fruit we will use in the loaf will become moist with hot brewed tea. This way, your dry fruits will easily become softer in the dessert.

MIXED DRIED FRUIT:

  • If you use this in your loaf, the taste will become sweeter. It’s up to you to choose if you like mixed or one kind of dry fruit. Common choices can be dates or raisins.

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

  • We cannot make the loaf without any flour, so for this, all-purpose flour will be a decent choice. You will see that this flour will give the loaf a good shape when it bakes. If there is something else you prefer, try whole wheat flour instead.

BROWN SUGAR:

  • We will add brown sugar to this recipe because it will give your dessert a sweet taste. Moisture will also be a part of this loaf. If you need an alternative for this, try using coconut sugar instead.

EGG:

  • One large egg will be needed for this recipe, as it will make the loaf softer. Using an egg will make the mixing of the loaf batter. If you prefer using flax egg, go for it as well.

BAKING SODA AND BAKING POWDER:

  • The loaf will feel lighter when we add these two things to it. Also, it is common that these will lift the loaf in the oven when it bakes.

NUTMEG AND CINNAMON:

  • Both of the above spices will give your loaf a great scent after it bakes. Mixed spice is also an idea for you to look for.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • The sweet taste in your loaf will improve when you use vanilla extract in it.

SALT:

  • As you may know, the addition of salt in most desserts helps in removing any extra sweetness. Also, the taste of the loaf will get better with its use too.

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Then add the baking paper to the loaf pan.

  6. Take one more bowl to include the soaked fruit, vanilla, egg, and brown sugar.
  7. Mix them completely.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

FAQs:

Will whole wheat flour work okay for this recipe?

Why are we not adding any butter to this recipe?

  • This is because we are using dried fruits as well as tea in this loaf, which in turn makes a moist dessert.
