"Bara Brith" isn't a cake it's a bread. Bara being the Welsh word for bread.
The consistency of "Bara Brith" is like that of a nut bread with raisins in
it, and it's sliced and buttered like a loaf.
"Teisen Lap", which is a cake (Teisen) baked on a plate or a bakestone, is
probably the most prevelant traditional cake recipe we have in Wales. It
uses bicarbonate of soda or baking powder rather than ale barm. I had posted
the recipe previously, but will willingly post the recipe again if people
wish me to. :-)
