In celebration of the 25th anniversary of our Fairtrade Gold Tea, we’ve created this delicious twist on a classic tea loaf recipe. Soaking the fruit in tea gives it a rich, fragrant flavour that’s then baked into the sticky loaf. It’s also served with a digestive biscuit butter for added indulgence – the ultimate treat to serve alongside a cuppa!

Method

Hide images
step 1
Pour the tea (300 ml) over the mixed fruit (200 g), golden raisins (75 g) and dates (75 g) in a large bowl. Allow to sit for 3-4 hours, or overnight.
step 2
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6 and grease and line a 900g loaf tin. Stir the eggs (2), orange zest (1), flour (250 g), sugar (200 g) and mixed spice (1 tsp) into the dried fruit.
step 3
Spoon into the prepared tin, transfer to the oven and bake for around 1 hour 20 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean. If the top looks like it’s browning too quickly, cover with foil. Leave to cool in the tin for 15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
step 4
Meanwhile, crush the biscuits (4) in a sandwich bag with the back of a rolling pin until fine, or blitz in a food processor. Beat into the butter (2 tbsp).
step 5
Once cooled, cut the loaf into slices and serve with the biscuit butter and a cup of tea.
step 5 Once cooled, cut the loaf into slices and serve with the biscuit butter and a cup of tea.
