250g chá preto, frio
220g farinha de trigo
125g açúcar mascavo
1/2 colher (chá) mixed spice ou pumpkin spice
2 colheres (chá) fermento em pó

Misture as frutas com o chá e deixe de molho de um dia para o outro. Misture farinha, açúcar, especiarias e fermento. Coloque o ovo e mexa bem. Por fim adicione as frutas juntamente com o chá, misture bem e coloque numa forma de bolo inglês (25x10cm) forrada com papel manteiga. Leve ao forno pré-aquecido a 170C por aproximadamente 1 hora, ou até um palito sair seco. Depois de frio embrulhe em plástico filme. Se puder, ou quiser, deixe maturar por 1-2 dias antes de servir. Vai bem com manteiga.

Yeah, it changes a bit depending on the region but you get a cake with a bean (or toy, or ring, or whatever) in it and whoever gets that slice gets a crown and good fortune. It's a bit like Irish barmbrack but the cake is actually tasty.

My sister and I have invited people over for Nollaig na mBan. My contribution is a loaf of brown bread and a barmbrack.

My irish mum once put butter on a panettone thinking it was like irish barmbrack and the italian that gifted it to us was shocked and apalled.

Pannetone is a shit barmbrack and I won't be convinced otherwise.

My mum switches into grumpy Belfast granny mode to dismissively refer to panettone as "ould dear Barmbrack" but even she (reluctantly) acknowledges that it is actually delicious.
The hatred for panettone is a. Wrong and b. Doesn’t take into account the INSANELY GOOD French toast you can make with it

Gran used to make her “fruit cake” at Xmas. It was a dense, dried fruit packed loaf cake. I remember she would soak the dried fruit in hot black tea overnight. Lots of spices. I loved it.
Found this recipe. I soaked, baked, just had a piece & my neighbor took half!

I was hoping for Storm Barmbrack, where it rains fruit bread. 😆

I use dried cranberries instead of raisins in my Autumn (Gingerbread/Oatmeal) cookies, and a few cakes and other things, especially barmbrack!
My friend told me she always bakes muffins with her leftover cranberry sauce, and I was amazed that had never occurred to me.
So I looked up a recipe for cranberry coffee cake. Will be trying that tomorrow.

I grew up hating it because it was always on our cookie tray at Xmas--I had a grandparent who sent a mail-order one every year--and those green glacé cherries were a horror. As an adult, after eating good stollen, barmbrack, and a delicious, dense dried-fruit laden whiskey cake I've come around

Today, I baked.
It is wild how a regional common item can be brand new to someone far away e.g. British Isles 'mixed fruit', which is a prepackaged blend of sultanas, raisins, currants, orange peel -- unavailable in my Seattle store.
Pretty sure my ratios were off given I went with what I had.

Good morning, All Good People.
I unwrapped the Barmbrack Tea Bread I baked on Tuesday. Baked bread with lots of raisins in it, butter at the ready, w/a cup of Tea with honey, maple syrup, & vanilla syrup. With all the world’s falling into hell, right now, it’s the little luxuries, ya know?

Exploring my ancestral roots through traditional bakes. I made Barmbrack Irish Tea Bread a couple of weeks ago. It was good, but this one looks better.
Hoping I find the coin for wealth, this time.

Irish Barmbrack is a fruit bread and, although it is eaten throughout the year, it is particularly associated with Halloween (Samhuin) and New Year’s Eve.

Ossa dei morti (bones of the dead) for Day of the Dead.
This is part of a long term project where I make a new traditional food related to Halloween and Halloween adjacent holidays.
Suggestions for next year welcome- I've already made barmbrack, soul cakes, and pan de muerto.

Ooh! I made barmbrack last year and it was excellent! (Didn't do it this year because I'm on a Moderately Extreme Elimination Diet to try to figure out which foods are cursed for me)
