This is a very quick and easy to make cake, one of those coffee cakes (tea loafs) that it's nice to have at work during week with a cup of coffee. Inspired by Taste of Home
Cinnamon, prunes and mixed peel tea loaf
Ingredients:
2 cups ( 1 cup is a 250ml glass or mug) of flour
half a cup of light brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk (1tsp of white vinegar or lemon juice mixed with milk, left to stand for 15 minutes)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp bicarb soda
1/4 cup of sunflower oil
1/3 cup of dried fruit of your choice - in this recipe I used mixed peel and chopped dried prunes but I think it could be anything you like raisins, cranberries, cherries or a combination of some of them
1tbsp of cinnamon mixed with half 1/3 cup of muscovado sugar set aside
which could be replace with 1tbsp cocoa mixed with the same amount of sugar set aside
Let's do it:
Preheat the oven to 180C (fan assisted). Sieve flour with bicarb soda and salt into a bowl and mix with sugar. In another bowl mix egg with buttermilk and oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and mix briefly until just combined. Add dried fruit of your choice and transfer to a small tea loaf tin greased with a bit of oil and baking parchment lined in the bottom. Sprinkle over sugar with cinnamon or sugar with cocoa and using a knife swirl into the cake. Bake for 40-50 minutes until a clean skewer.
