There is nothing more comforting than nice cup of tea with a decadent piece of sweet bread after a long day of Christmas shopping.  It’s a nice reward to myself for scratching everyone off my list and resisting the urge of buying myself something.  Big accomplishment.

That was way too much self-control for me.

Following the Christmas theme, I decided to make a delicate teacake that resembles a holiday fruitcake.  Packed with California raisins, candied cherries and a hint of citrusy syrup, this teacake paired perfectly with my Earl Gray tea.  No self-control here whatsoever and that’s ok.  What better Christmas present than to have the opportunity to share it with my family, sit around the dining room table and reminisce of Christmas past.

With this recipe, I’d like to wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season!

Merry Christmas!
