Ingredients
- 4¼ cups (10 ⅔ oz/303 g) fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 cup (8 fl oz/240 ml) black tea
- ¼ cup (1½ oz/35 g) self-raising flour
- 1 cup (5 oz/142 g) raisins
- 5 tablespoons golden syrup
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves
- 1 recipe pie crust
- Egg wash
Notes
- Fresh breadcrumbs, not dried, are best for this recipe.
- Instead of separate spices, you can use 1 ½ tablespoons of mixed spice. Make your own to use in cakes, muffins, and cookies.
- Either golden or black raisins or sultanas will work in this recipe. You can also use an equal amount of any other dried fruit you prefer. If the fruit is large, chop before using.
- You can replace the golden syrup with honey if that is what you have on hand.
- This is a great grab-and-go snack, but it's also delicious served with our Two-Ingredient Vanilla Ice Cream or whipped cream.
- Store gur cake in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to three days.
