11/5/2015
Plan the perfect afternoon tea with honey cake accompanied by South Africa's rooibos (roy-bos) red bush tea.
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup any mixed dried fruit
- 1/3 cup rooibos red bush tea
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a large mixing bowl, add dried fruit, warm tea, and honey. Mix well, let stand 10 minutes. Beat the egg and whisk it into the tea mixture. Add flour, baking powder and spices beat until well combined. Grease and flour a standard size loaf pan with vegetable oil. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared loaf pan and bake 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool and serve with afternoon tea.
