Delicious served either on it's own, or spread with butter as a really yummy treat. I served this to all the mum's who came to my sons birthday party with their tea and coffee. The children went home with party bags and the Mum's all left with the recipe for this tea bread. So simple too. Also a huge hit with children and a good way of getting them to eat some fruit. Low fat too.

This was the first tea loaf I've ever made and I'm not sure I'll bother experimenting with any other now, really moist and absolutely delicious, with or without butter! Thank you.

I made this yesterday-- so easy and delicious! I did want it very orangey, so I added an extra tbsp of marmalade, and held back about that much of the tea. Also poured hot tea over just dried currants so that the plumping up would speed-up. Question though - I used a ceramic loaf pan instead of tin...and I'm wondering if this was (or something else was), the cause of just the side and bottom crusts being rather tough/chewy...they tended to tear rather than cut when even using a bread knife?

Excellent as my little one needs a dairy free diet and this will be a lovely addition to her lunch box.

I reduced the amount of sugar to 80 grams as I feared it would be too sweet for me especially with the marmalade. It was very good. Next time I think I may even reduce the sugar a little more and probably only use 1tbsp of marmalade. A good quick make though!
