Blackberry tea loaf

tea loaf

I've been a bit slow in posting this, but back at the beginning of September I made this delicious tea loaf as a way of baking with blackberries while they were still in season.  The recipe comes from the National Trust "Teatime Baking Book" by Jane Pettigrew and along with the blackberries, lemon and black treacle help to give this loaf a lovely deep flavour.  A yummy teatime treat I will definitely be making again next year.

Incidentally, the National Trust has a variety of recipes available on its website.  Among the recipes ideas for puddings and cakes is one for a blackberry and apple upside-down cake.  The blackberries may be over, but I have just come back from Herefordshire with a bag of hand-picked Bramleys (courtesy of the P's) and an apple upside-down cake sounds a very appealing idea...
