WELSH RAISIN DATE NUT CAKE BARA BRITH
There are many versions of the Bara Brith, as many perhaps, as there are Welsh cooks. It is basically a spicy raisin cake, deep, dark and delicious. This cake is a bit unorthodox, but very moist and fruity.

Steps:
- This is Wales' traditional rich fruit bread.
- South Wales makes it with baking powder; Northerners prefer yeast as the raising agent. Either way it's delicious.
- Soak the dried fruit and sugar overnight in the tea.
- You can use either fresh tea, or the cold dregs from the teapot (this gives a good strong colour). Next day, sieve the flour and fold it it into the fruit. Mix in the lightly beaten egg.
- Line a small loaf-tin with buttered paper then tip in the mixture, smoothing it well into the corners.
- Bake in a gentle oven at 300 F (150 C) for 1-1/2 hours.
- Cool and store for at least 2 days in a tin so that it matures moist and rich.
- Traditionalists say you should never butter the Bara Brith, but it's lovely that way!

Steps:
- Put 8 cups of the flour in a mixing bowl and let it stand in a warm place for a short while. Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles meal, add the currants, raisins candied fruit peel, nutmeg or allspice, salt and all of the brown sugar but 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar. Mix thoroughly.
- In a smaller bowl cream the fresh yeast with the 1 teaspoons of brown sugar and blend the yeast mixture with the milk.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour the yeast mixture into it and sprinkle a little additional flour over the yeast mixture. Cover the dough and let it stand in a warm place for a few minutes, until it is just beginning to rise. Pour the beaten eggs into the bowl and proceed to knead gradually adding the 1 1/2 cups tepid water mixed with the molasses. This should be a soft dough. Knead about 10 minutes.
- Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until it has doubled in bulk. Then turn the dough out onto a well floured board, divide it in half and put it into two well buttered 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaf pans. Let the loaves rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until they have nearly risen to the rims of the pans.
- Bake the loaves in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, so that the tops are browned and loaves sound hollow when rapped.

Pour the hot tea over the fruit, stir, cover and let sit overnight.Depending on how dry or moist your raisins/currants were to begin with they will have absorbed nearly all of the liquid. If there is some liquid remaining reserve about 2 or 3 tablespoons of it to brush on top of the finished bread.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, place the flour, baking powder, salt and spices and stir to combined. Add the fruits and their juices (except for the juice you reserved) along with all remaining ingredients.

Bake for 70-85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.Spoon or brush the reserved dried fruits liquid over the top of the hot bread and let it cool for a few minutes before removing it from the loaf pan to cool completely on a wire rack.
