Cooking Instructions

I find its always best to start this the night before. All you do is place the fruits and Peel in a bowl, then dissolve the sugar in the the hot tea and pour this over the fruits. Then cover with a cloth and leave to soak - as the fruits absorb the tea they become plump and juicy.

When you are ready to make the cake, preheat the oven to 170°C then place the pecans on a baking tray and pop them in the oven. Give them 8 minutes to toast but put a timer on as the burn very easily.

After they have cooled roughly chop the nuts. Now whisk the egg and add it to the fruits along with the toasted nuts and sifted flour. Give everything a thorough mixing. Add a tablespoon of milk and if the mixture still feels stiff, stir in another. Spoon the mixture into a prepared loaf tin and level with the back of a spoon. Bake on the lower shelf of the oven for 1 hour 10 minutes until it feels springy in the center.

When it comes out of the oven turn it out onto a wire rack to cool. Serve it cut in thick slices spread generously with butter.

Tea Cakes Tea Cakes
I received this recipe years ago from an elderly lady (98 years old) of 12 children. She had 4 sets of twins. She was a gentle soul and loved to cook and feed people. I met her at a birthday party for one of her great grands, we got to talking about baking and I told her about a cookie that my great granny used to make, but no one knew the recipe. A few days later, she sent her daughter to deliver THE COOKIE recipe, she called them TEA CAKES. This is my go-to recipe for rollout cookies. It makes ALOT! #ChristmasGift

Easy With A Rice Cooker! Matcha Tea Cake With Walnuts Easy With A Rice Cooker! Matcha Tea Cake With Walnuts
I had some walnuts, so I tried adding them to my usual matcha cake. The crunchy nutty texture is really addictive.I'm using an old rice cooker, so I just mix everything in the inner bowl. (I'm so lazy...) If you have a new rice cooker with a non-stick coated bowl, please don't copy me or you'll damage it! Recipe by nori_ipee
