Barmbrack recipe

This cakey fruit bread has its roots in the ancient Celtic harvest celebration Samhain.

Irish Barmbrack is a fruit cake that was traditionally served on Halloween. The fruit is soaked in tea overnight for a moist, flavourful cake.

Barmbrack means "speckled cake". It is baked in either a loaf pan or cake pan depending on your family tradition. The brack foretells the future.
