Method Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C, gas mark 5). Line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment. Cut the marzipan into strips. Cream together the sugar and butter until well blended and creamy.

Reserve a few of the Florentine's for decoration, and stir the rest through the batter. 200g Plain White Flour 1 tsp Baking Powder 150g Florentine Biscuits (Chopped) Spoon a third of the batter into the tin, and lay over some marzipan, making sure that there is some at each end of the tin. Spoon over another third of cake mix, and the remaining marzipan, then the last of the cake mix. 100g Chocolate Marzipan Bake for 45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted. Meanwhile, make the chocolate glaze. Add the water to the sugar in a bowl and stir well. Add the chocolate, and set over a pan of barely simmering water until all is dissolved and melted. 25ml Water (Boiling) 50g Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar (We Like Billington's) 50g Dark Chocolate (Chopped ) At the end of the cooking time, remove the tea bread from tin, and set on a rack to cool.

Ingredients Metric For the Tea Bread 110g Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar (we like Billington's) This is the highest quality caster sugar available and is a great natural alternative to refined caster sugar. It has a warm golden colour from its unrefined nature and is fine grained with a subtle buttery taste, making it perfect for deliciously light sponges, shortbread and macaroons. 110g Butter (Unsalted) (Softened ) 1 Egg(s) (Free Range) (Beaten ) 100ml Milk 200g Plain White Flour 1 tsp Baking Powder 150g Florentine Biscuits (Chopped) 100g Chocolate Marzipan For the Chocolate Glaze 25ml Water (Boiling) 50g Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar (We Like Billington's) 50g Dark Chocolate (Chopped ) Utensils Bread Tin Recipe Alternatives Cinnamon Swirls Cinnamon Swirls Total 45m Serves 7 Skill Easy Diet Rating 4 star rating Chocolate Orange Brioche Chocolate Orange Brioche Total 1h 5m Makes 1 Skill Intermediate Diet NF/Veg Rating No ratings yet Cannoli Cannoli Total 1h 30m Serves 36 Skill Intermediate Diet Rating No ratings yet
