Easy Tea Cake



Ok this recipe is kind of a cross between a cake and a bread...perhaps easy tea loaf is a more appropriate name....either way it is delicious! It is awesome by itself, warm with jam or even toasted in a sandwich press. Seriously it's the bomb and probably the easiest thing you'll ever make.


What you'll need


Earl grey tea - 1 cup brewed and cooled (any black tea will do)
Self raising flour - 2 cups sifted
Brown sugar - 1/2 cup
Sultanas - 1 cup
Cinnamon - 1 tbsp
Nutmeg - 1/2 tbsp


Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius
Place sugar, sultanas and spices in a bowl and combine.
Add tea and stir.
Add flour and combine well.
Place mixture in a greased loaf tin and cook for 20 - 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.


Thats it and it really is that simple. It's also a great recipe to play around with, add some nuts, or choc chips, what ever you like. I recommend lathering the top of the cake with vegan butter and sprinkling it with cinnamon sugar whilst still hot.


I love this toasted the next day with lots of butter for breakfast! Yum!
