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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Grease and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or wooden spoon.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them into the batter.

Step 4

Sift the self-raising flour into the mixture and gently fold it in until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Stir in the sultanas, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Spoon the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Slice and serve on its own or with a cup of tea for a comforting, old-fashioned treat.
