This tea loaf is incredibly easy to make and leaves you scratching your head as to how it can work with so few ingredients but believe me it does and provides a delicious afternoon treat! Don't use Guinness, it's not even vegetarian let alone vegan. We used the lovely stout made by Marble a local brewery but check Barnivore too for other alternatives.
