Irish Barmbrack | Irish Halloween Cake

Irish Barmbrack | Irish Halloween Cake

A spiced tea cake from Ireland that is studded with tea-soaked dried fruit. This cake is very often eaten for Halloween and charms are hidden inside — a ring, a bean/pea, a cloth, and a coin. If you find a charm in your slice, it is supposed to tell your fortune. A ring means you will marry, a bean/pea means you will not marry, a cloth means you will be poor, and a coin means you will be wealthy. Include this fun game and yummy cake at your next Halloween party!
