Glazed Irish Tea Cake Recipe

Recipe Ingredients


CAKE

3/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
3 oz cream cheese room temperature
1 3/4 cup cake flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup dried currants
2/3 cup buttermilk

GLAZE

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Recipe Preparation

PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F, with rack in center of oven. Generously grease a
9-inch (7-cup capacity) loaf pan. Dust with flour; tap pan over sink
to discard excess flour. Cut piece of parchment paper or waxed paper
to fit bottom of pan. Set aside. FOR CAKE, use mixer to cream butter,
sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating each
until fluffy. Add cream cheese. Mix until well combined. Sift flour,
baking powder and salt together. Put currants in small bowl. Add 1/4
cup of flour mixture to currants. Stir currants until well coated.
Add remaining flour to batter, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until
smooth. Use wooden spoon to stir in currants and all of the flour.
Stir until well combined. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Smooth
surface with spatula. Bake until well-browned and toothpick inserted
into center comes out clean, about 1 hour, 25 minutes. Cake will
crack on top. Let cake rest in pan for 10 minutes. Use flexible metal
spatula to separate cake from sides of pan. Carefully remove cake
from pan to cooling rack. Spread glaze on warm cake. Let cake cool
completely. Cake can be stored 3 days at room temperature in foil.
Cake can also be frozen up to 3 months, wrapped airtight. FOR GLAZE,
combine sugar and lemon juice in small bowl. Stir until smooth.

Food Tips of the Week

Diet hints and tips

In deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
The case against low carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is really safe for you?
Remember, one fact that is often overlooked, it is very difficult (though by no means impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a low carb diet.
The majority of the negative side effects reported, like feeling tired, stomach upsets, or bad headaches seem to be only temporary, but critics contend that low carbohydrate diets are not without permanently harmful side effects.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes cilantro, kale and tomato puree)
These amazing healthy superfoods are rich in the carotenoids believed by nutritionalists play a key part in minimising the risk of cancer, specifically those cancers involving the lungs. Many also help you lose weight, so should be a part of every diet system.
