Bara Brith is a traditional Welsh fruit loaf, served for tea, and usually has a good quality Welsh butter spread over each slice. It is a dense cake, much more so than, for example, the English ‘tea cake’ bun, or ‘hot cross’ buns.
It is a delicacy, & most definitely, moreish. Just what you don’t need on a diet. One slice and you can kiss goodbye to your SYN allocation for the day.
My fakeaway version makes 6 bars or mini-loaves. SYN value is 7 per loaf without any added butter(y)/spreads.
