More Info

We absolutely love this moreish bake, similar to an English tea bread or Welsh bara brith, that's known as 'sweet bread' in Trinidad. The addition of coconut, as well as the dried fruit, makes this very simple recipe feel rather exotic, and the Caribbean spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice) give a fabulous fragrance and depth of flavour.
Recipe

You Need:

150g butter
2 eggs (any size) - beaten
165g sugar (demerara is best)
250g mixture of dried fruit (any type is fine such as glacé cherries, raisins, citrus peel, sultanas etc) - cut into bite-size pieces if large
50g desiccated coconut
250g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
100ml milk (any type)

Method:

Preheat the oven to 170°C/gas mark 3
Grease and line a loaf tin (approx. 2lb) with baking parchment
Melt the butter then mix with 150g sugar until fully combined
Mix in the beaten eggs and milk, then stir in the desiccated coconut, flour, baking powder, dried fruit, TRINI SWEET BREAD BLEND and a pinch of salt until everything is fully combined into a thick batter
Spoon the batter into the tin, sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp sugar over the top, then bake for 50 minutes or until the cake is golden-brown and when you insert a skewer into the centre it comes out clean
Leave to cool to room temperature then cut the bread into slices and serve with a cup of tea!

Absolutely delicious!

Absolutely delicious! I used dates, stem ginger, glacé cherries and dried cranberries (using up some half empty bags of fruit for the cupboard!) and it was absolutely delicious. Served it in slices with some sharp Lancashire cheese, and it was a big hit with my book group. I’ll definitely be ordering more of this one.

Really delicious bread. I made it as part of the Trinidadian meal and didn’t expect to like it but it was delicious! Really moist and you can put whatever you fave dried fruit is. Have since bought the bread spices again for me and gifts!
