Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Sultana Cake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C). Grab a 9-inch round cake pan and give it a light greasing to ensure your cake comes out easily later on.
Step 2
In a saucepan, toss in the sultana raisins and cover them with enough water. Bring this to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Once done, drain the water from the raisins and set them aside.
Step 3
Now, let’s add some richness! Stir the diced butter into the warm raisins until it melts and coats them beautifully. This will infuse the cake with a lovely buttery flavor.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the eggs until they’re well combined and fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 5
Next, fold the buttery raisins and the vanilla extract into the egg mixture. Gently add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want a tender cake!
Step 6
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Now, it’s time for the magic to happen! Bake in your preheated oven for about 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This cake is best enjoyed fresh, but it also keeps well for a few days.
