2 cups sultanas
250g butter (chopped in small pieces)
2 cups sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp lemon OR almond essence
3 cups plain baking flour
1 + 1/2 tsp baking powder

Put sultanas into a saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Add butter. In a bowl, beat sugar into eggs until well combined. Add sultana mixture and essence. Sift flour and baking powder together. Mix into fruit mixture. Spoon into a greased and lined 20cm square cake tin. Bake at 180* for 1 - 1+1/2 hours or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Leave in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.



There ya go Relaxed - just as well I don't type for a living, I try to be correct but it takes sooooooo much longer LOL.




Do they not use sultanas there? They're such a basic item here, I'm a bit gobsmacked. What else is common here but not used there? (just nosey

You can't get sultanas? Shocked

White raisins are the same thing if that helps.

Normal raisins do have a different flavour.

I just can't get over not being able to buy sultanas.
