275g/9¾oz self-raising flour
225g/8oz light muscovado sugar
One large free-range egg, beaten
Butter, for greasing, plus extra to serve
Method
Put the currants and sultanas in a bowl and add the hot tea. Stir, cover and leave
to soak overnight for the liquid to absorb.
Preheat the oven to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 3½. Grease a 900g/2lb loaf tin and line
with
non-stick baking paper.
Add the flour, sugar and egg to the bowl of soaked fruit (if there is a little excess
liquid this is fine) and mix thoroughly.
Spoon into the prepared tin and level the top. Bake for 1¾ hours, or until the cake
is
risen and just firm to the touch, but check it after 1¼ hours to see how it is doing.
Leave to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
Turn out the cake and remove the paper. To serve, cut into fairly thick slices and
spread with butter.
