Cakes & Bakes: Sultana loaf cake

Sliced sultana loaf cake

I’ve made a fair few tea loaf cakes over the years, but Justin has voted this sultana loaf cake the best. I’d planned to cook a completely different cake, but at the last minute realised I didn’t have all the necessary ingredients. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

The sultana cake consists of 8 simple ingredients that you should already have in your fridge and kitchen cupboard.

It’s a doddle to prepare; simply cream the butter & sugar, add everything else except the milk, which you add at the end to thin the batter to just the right consistency. I’d imagine this cake would be equally fantastic if you used glacé cherries instead of sultanas… I just may try that next week.
