A favorite cake at home. It is moist and fairly heavy so you need a slice or two maybe. A real hunger buster on the go.

Absolutely lovely cake. I didn't have any sultanas when I went to bake it, so used a mixture of 400grams mixed fruit and made up the weight with raisins. My husband said it was the nicest one I had made. Will definitely make again. Cooked at 150 for 1 hour and it was perfect!

Method

Line a 20cm cake tin with baking paper. Preheat oven to 150°C

Into a large pot boil butter, Chelsea White Sugar, sultanas, mixed spice, baking soda, lemon zest, almond or vanilla essence and boiled water for around 10 minutes, allow to cool.

Once cool, add (in order) the beaten eggs then sifted flour, baking powder and essence. Mixed until just combined.

Pour into the cake tin. Mixture should fill 2/3 of the tin.

Bake for 1 hour at 150°C or until skewer inserted into the middle of cake comes out clean.

Allow to cool on a cake rack before cutting, if you can wait!
