How Do I Make Irish Tea and Whiskey Brack?

Here is how you make Irish Tea and Whiskey Brack:

Make a cup of tea! Chop your dates and prunes (kitchen shears are handy here) and combine all the dried fruit in a bowl with the hot tea and whiskey. Stir to combine and wait until the mixture is almost cool, about an hour.Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Thoroughly combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and then add the cooled-down fruit mix and any liquid remaining in the bowl. Add the molasses here and mix until well combined. Add your egg and mix again. Scrape down the sides and give it one final mix. Scoop the mix into a greased 8" cake round or springform pan. Spread the mixture evenly across the pan with a spatula and put in the oven for 55-65 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool and then slice up and enjoy!**If you don't have wheat bran, feel free to use an additional 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour. If you are going to use white flour, be aware that your cake will rise much higher, so be sure to use a dish that has at least a 2" gap at the top after you fill it with the cake mix.Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user VALLOUGH.
