Method

Step 1

Line a 500g (1lb) loaf tin with baking parchment. Pre heat the oven to 170°C, 150°C fan, gas 4.

Step 2

Pour the cold tea over the raisins and mix well. Weigh the self raising flour, then weigh the malt extract on top.

Step 3

Add the treacle then stir it all into the tea and raisins with the bicarbonate of soda.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 35 mins until risen and it feels firm to the touch.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and cool for 15 mins before removing from the tin to cool completely. It may sink a little in the centre, but should be cooked and nicely chewy.
