Earl Grey Cranberry Tea Loaf

Hi Beautiful People!

Hope your weekend is off to a good start and that weather is kinder wherever you are 😊

I have a nice teacake or tea bread loaf to share today, kids and husamband approved.

So simple to prepare, yet delicious. It stays good for a week long either in the fridge or room temperature (but here is Winter though!)

Give this recipe a try and see if you like it too 😊

2 bags earl grey tea
1/2 c hot boiling water
1 tsp honey
1/2 c dried cranberries
1 3/4 c flour
1 tsp BP
1/2 tsp BSoda
A pinch of salt
1 tsp grated lemon peel
2 eggs
3/4 c sugar
1/2 c sour cream
1/3 c vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla essence

Soak the tea in hot water, then soak in cranberries, adding honey if you like

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl with lemon peel

Cream eggs and sugar, add in sour cream, oil, and vanilla essence

Add in dry ingredients in batches, do not overmix, then pour in cranberries with tea liquid. Again, do not overmix

Bake on preheated 350 F 45-55 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then take out tea-bread from the pan, and cool on cooling rack
