Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Mixed dried fruit (e.g., figs, apricots, prunes, raisins)
- 250 ml Hot black tea
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts)
Instructions
Chop the mixed dried fruit into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped fruit in a bowl and pour the hot black tea over it. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes to rehydrate, then drain and set the fruit aside.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Pour the beaten eggs into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Add the drained dried fruit and chopped nuts to the batter. Gently fold them in until evenly distributed. The batter will be thick.
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of Früchtebrot plain or with a spread of butter. It also pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea.
