1 (375 g) packet currants
1 cup cold tea
1 cup brown sugar

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the flavor was just so-so. I wouldn't recommend it.

I found this cake to be a bit bland. It needed more spices or something to give it more flavor.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked it. The flavor was good, but the texture was just a bit off.
