This is an adorable and yummy fruit tea loaf María, look delicious! xxgloria
I made a tea loaf this afternoon but misread the recipe and added 1 tsp of baking powder instead of 1 tbsp - it was as flat as a pancake!!!!!
Yours on the otherhand looks fantastic!
This is my kind of cake Maria. Of course I would be tempted to smear some butter on it :)
Yum! I always think tea loaves are underrated. Hope hubby feels better soon.
Your tea loaf looks perfect ... might have to make one this week now :)
That is a great looking loaf. I'm very fond of a good tea loaf and I especially like how this has got a healthy 'studding' of fruit through each slice.
This tea loaf looks gorgeous Maria, I love fruity loaves and I don't bake them often enough..I might have to go and bake one asap ;-)
Lovely, and perfect for the autumnal weather. I love tea loaf thickly spread with butter!
I would love to try this. I think I will make one to take to work around the Holidays.
My husband loves these cakes too, well they are packed full of delicious flavours! Hope your husband is better soon. x
Mmm I do love a good tea-loaf, looks so fruity and delicious! I like it toasted for breakfast mostly!
This is my favourite fruitloaf recipe - I've been making it for years and everyone loves it.
I absolutely adore this fruit tea loaf from Feast and have also made it many times. Feel like making it now!! Problem is I'm the only fan in the house so I end up eating most (all) of it myself.
