Recipe Note

Barmbrack is a traditional Irish cake eaten on holidays. After pouring into the prepared pan, it is tradition to add objects to the barmbrack which symbolize certain things for the person who receives each in their slice. Thoroughly clean objects before adding them to the barmbrack. These objects can be pressed into the bottom of the loaf after baking instead: coin-wealth or good fortune;ring-will marry within the year;bean-poverty;pea-will not marry within the year;matchstick-unhappy marriage;thimble-single for life.
