Irish Tea Brack
This fun recipe is a cross between a coffee cake and a quick sweet bread. It is loaded with dried fruits and whole grains. It reminds me a little bit of Raisin Bran in cake form. I am telling you, it is so good. It is perfect for tea time or a yummy breakfast.

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg

Instructions

- In a large bowl, mix the ¾ cup light brown sugar, 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 Tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt and fruit along with any liquid they were soaking in.
- Stir in the 1 large egg until everything is uniformly incorporated.
