It’s my 100% sourdough version of ‘bairín breac’ or ‘barm brack’… Cranberries apricots and raisins soaked in spiced chai tea… a little bit of rye for flavour and topped with a spiced tea glaze 👌
Perfect with a cuppa ☕… See more







The first time your kids hear ‘carrot cake’, they might pull a face – a cake with carrots in it? – but once they try some of this deliciously moist, sweet and dense dessert, they should be all smiles. This cake should get you between 12 and 16 slices, depending on how generous you are!
For the icing:
Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mk 4.
Prepare a rectangular cake tin (or two sandwich tins) by lining it with lightly greased greaseproof paper, leaving some overlapping the edges.
Beat the sugar, Dairygold Baking Block and eggs together until the mixture has doubled in size.
Next, fold in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and spice, making sure to mix well.
Stir in the carrots, raisins and nuts until they’re evenly mixed through.
Pour into your tin(s) and bake for 35-40 minutes, before allowing to cool.
While that’s happening, beat together the icing ingredients and smooth over the cooled cake.
If you made two cakes in sandwich tins, you can create a middle layer of icing for double the creamy deliciousness!
