Boiling the sultanas first is the secret to this moist and buttery sultana cake. What’s even better is the fact that it’s a one-pot wonder and will keep in an airtight container for up to a week. You will also find this recipe in Volume 2.
Ingredients:
2 cups sultanas
250g (8.8oz) butter (chopped into 1cm cubes)
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
Method:
• Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) square cake tin.
• Place the sultanas in a saucepan, cover with water.
• Bring to the boil, simmer for 10 minutes and then drain.
• Add the chopped butter to the hot sultanas. Stir to melt.
• Stir in the sugar, then the lightly beaten eggs and vanilla.
• Sift in the flour and baking powder, mix until combined, then pour into the cake tin.
• Bake for 30–40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Cool in the tin for 15 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool.

This article cleared up a lot of confusion for me. Please write an article about Idyllic Gardening!
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but ordering from https://payforessay.net/ was surprisingly easy. The dashboard made tracking progress simple, and I could chat with the writer directly, which was helpful. The final essay matched the instructions and had a professional flow. Prices weren’t bad either, especially with the discounts. Overall, it’s a service I’d use again if deadlines stack up.
