I really wanted to stop making cake for sometime to cut down on sugar. But I couldn't resist myself from making this cake as I love sultanas and also it does not have sugar , ahh I mean white sugar ;) ..

This is a perfect tea cake with less sugar. Here is the recipe below..

• 250 gm Sultanas
• 1 lemon juice and zest
• 1 orange juice and zest
• 150 gm chopped butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 All purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder

Method

1. Grease the cake pan with butter and preheat the oven to 150C.
2. Place the sultanas and water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 5 minutes then remove from the heat and drain well. Add the butter, orange and lemon zest and stir until the butter melts and ingredients are combined.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs and brown sugar and then add this to the sultanas mixture.
4. Sift together the flour and the baking powder and the sultanas mixture and stir just until combined.
5. Pour into cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
