add addition for a simpler, but popular variant - and a minor alteration to the original to indicate that 'Bara Brith' translates as 'Speckled Bread' in English.
Copyright problem?

"One of my favourites" is unencyclopaedic, and isn't what follows that a copyright violation? -- Picapica 11:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not a cookbook
[edit]So, I suggest moving most of the information here to the Cookbook Wiki. Gurko 12:24, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Mid importance
[edit]Have rated as mid, as although a minor source, it is one of the few iconic Welsh foods. Should not be rated as low form a Welsh view point. FruitMonkey (talk) 23:22, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Torta Negra
[edit]Torta negra in not Bara Brith, is not even similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.3.216.219 (talk) 20:46, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm watching "Great British Bake Off" right now and they are recounting how bara brith was brought to the Patagonia region by Welsh Settlers in the late 1800s. 2601:140:8301:3A1:80A7:D5AB:31E7:C59C (talk) 17:36, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- Torta Negra Galesa (as opposed to the Argentine pastry simply known as Torta Negra) doesn't seem to resemble Bara Brith at all, other than it being a Welsh-origin cake containing dried fruits. Its name is even different - Teisen Ddu (simply meaning Black Cake) is made by soaking dried fruits in cognac instead of tea and often mixed with caramel rather than adding sugar to the batter. Additionally, it is believed to remain edible for years and is traditionally served as a wedding cake, a portion of which is reserved and later eaten by the couple on their first anniversary. Bara Brith seems to have no such properties, so I wouldn't consider Teisen Ddu to simply be a variant of it. ToastJv24 (talk) 06:17, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
