Ingredients

170 millilitre strong hot tea

170 gram malt extract (see tip), plus 1 tablespoon extra

3 tablespoon molasses

2 tablespoon butter, melted

300 gram raisins, stalks removed

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 cup self-raising flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a 12cm x 22cm loaf pan with baking paper.

2.In a large bowl or glass jug, mix together the tea, malt extract, molasses and butter. Add the raisins and sugar. Stir to combine and set aside for 10 minutes to cool.

3.Mix the beaten egg into the cooled mixture. Sift over the flour and salt, stirring gently to combine. Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (it will sink a little in the middle).

4.Warm the extra malt extract for 10 seconds in the microwave and brush over the top of the loaf while it is still hot to create a shiny glaze. Set aside to cool in the pan.

5.To store the loaf, wrap in baking paper, then a layer of tinfoil. This loaf benefits from being stored for a day or two before slicing and freezes well. Slice and serve buttered.

Malt extract is usually found in the health/nutrition section of the supermarket. PER SERVE: Energy: 319kcal, 1336kj Protein: 4g Fat: 4g Saturated fat: 2g Cholesterol: 28mg Carbohydrate: 67g Fibre: 2g Sodium: 283mg
