BOILED SULTANA CAKE RECIPE

This recipe will teach you how to make Boiled Sultana Cake. It is a quick and easy recipe to make. I prefer Boiled Sultana Cake better than a fruit cake as I love sultanas, some say they all taste the same but they definately do not.

Boiled Sultana Cake Ingredients

3 eggs
pinch salt
1/2 lb butter
1 cup sugar
1 lb sultanas
3/4 cup water
2 Tbs hot water
3 cups plain flour
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla essence

Boiled Sultana Cake Method

In a saucepan put 3/4 cup water and sultanas and bring slowly to the boil and boil for 5 minutes. Drain well then let the sultanas cool thoroughly. Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla essence until light and fluffy then beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition then fold in the cooled sultanas. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and mixed spice and add to the creamed mixture. Add the hot water and mix thoroughly. Turn into an 8 inch cake tin which has been greased and the base lined with greased paper. Bake the Boiled Sultana Cake in a moderate oven at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Serve with a spoonful of whipped cream.
