Pumpkin Sultana Cake Recipes

OLD-FASHIONED SULTANA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 150°C and grease a 20cm square or round cake tin.
• Pick over the sultanas to remove any stem- nothing worse than a crunch in your cake.
• Place sultanas in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to the boil and then drain off the water. Return sultanas to saucepan.
• Stir in the chopped butter and set aside the sultanas to cool.
• Beat together the eggs, essence and sugar. Then add in the sultanas.
• Add your flour and baking powder to another mixing bowl and aerate with a kitchen whisk (or you can sift them together).
• Stir the flour into the sultana mix.
• Pour into prepared cake tin and bake for 1 1/2 hours.

SULTANA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch round cake pan.
• Put the raisins in a saucepan with enough water to cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the water from the raisins. Stir the butter into the raisins until it melts and coats the raisins.
• Beat the sugar into the eggs in a bowl. Sift the flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Stir the raisins and vanilla into the egg mixture; add the flour mixture and stir until just mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 75 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

• Spread mixture into a lined loaf tin (15cm x 25cm).
• Bake for 1 1/4 hours in a moderate oven.

UPSIDE DOWN PUMPKIN CAKE

Steps:
