Get the coin and push it into mixture not flat but side ways. place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 1 hour, now after 40 minutes place tin foil over the top of tea brack to stop it getting too brown , continue to bake for the remaining 10 minutes.
  • Allow the Tea Brack to cool in tin for 15 minutes, before turning out on to wire rack. Heat slightly the honey or golden syrup and brush over the top of brack before cutting to give a nice glaze.

The Irish tradition is the ring in the tea brack was if you got it in a slice you would get married and the money was for wealth.. hope you like and enjoy.. :)

IRISH BARMBRACK



Irish Barmbrack image

Barmbrack is a traditional Irish cake eaten on holidays. After pouring into the prepared pan, it is tradition to add objects to the barmbrack which symbolize certain things for the person who receives each in their slice. Thoroughly clean objects before adding them to the barmbrack. These objects can be pressed into the bottom of the loaf after baking instead: coin-wealth or good fortune; ring-will marry within the year; bean-poverty; pea-will not marry within the year; matchstick-unhappy marriage; thimble-single for life.
