tea loaf
Sweet raisin bread
A tea loaf is a sweet, dense quick bread typically made with dried fruit and often soaked in tea before baking.
Common in British baking, it's served sliced and buttered alongside tea: She made her grandmother's tea loaf with currants and raisins.
The tea adds moisture and a subtle tannic flavor to the finished loaf.
