Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 225 grams self-raising flour
- 300 grams sultanas
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Grease and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or wooden spoon.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them into the batter.
Sift the self-raising flour into the mixture and gently fold it in until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Stir in the sultanas, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Add the milk and vanilla extract, and gently mix until the batter is smooth and of dropping consistency. If the mixture is too stiff, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time.
Spoon the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve on its own or with a cup of tea for a comforting, old-fashioned treat.
