Ingredients
- 200 g (7oz) sultanas or raisins
- 100 g (3 1/2 oz) chopped dates or prunes
- 150 ml (2/3 cup) freshly boiled water
- 1 Earl Grey teabag (or tea bag of your choice)
- 150 g (2/3 cup) malt extract
- 100 g (1/2 cup) molasses sugar or dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs large
- 255 (2 cups) plain flour or see notes
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 3 tbsp malt extract to brush on malt loaf
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170C (340F). Grease and line a 900g (2lb) loaf pan. Add the dried fruit and contents of a tea bag into a mixing bowl. Pour in freshly boiled water, malt extract and sugar. Stir well and leave to stand for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the eggs and then sift in the flour and baking powder.
- Mix the batter until no streaks of flour remain and pour into a greased and lined loaf pan.
- Bake for an hour, or until the malt loaf has risen and feels firm to the touch. A toothpick inserted in the centre should come out clean.
- Brush the warm loaf with malt extract and leave to cool in the tin.
- Wrap the malt loaf in two layers of greaseproof paper and store at room temperature for 3-5 days so it can mature.
Notes
- You can use wholemeal, spelt flour or buckwheat flour if you prefer.
- The cake keeps well at room temperature but you can also slice and freeze it. Toast from frozen or warm in the microwave before serving.
