Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 125 g unsalted butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 ml milk
- 150 g sultanas
- 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tbsp confectioners' sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20x20cm (8x8-inch) baking tin. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Avoid overmixing — mix until just combined.
Fold in the sultanas and diced apple gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared baking tin and spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the slice to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with confectioners' sugar using a fine sieve. Cut into 12 squares or bars and serve.
