I don't think \boiling\" the sultana mix for ten minutes is correct or if it is you would have to stand over it and watch that it doesn't catch on the bottom...maybe simmer? My sultanas got burnt on the bottom of the saucepan after a couple of minutes. I retrieved what I could but it didn't turn out well at all."

Lovely moist, fruity cake with a subtle spice and almost toffee flavour. Very easy to make, and keeps very well in the tin, if it isn't eaten immediately!

I loved this cake even cooked it in an air oven but cooked it a few minutes longer than air oven suggested time. Turned out beautifully.
Line a 20cm cake tin with baking paper. Preheat oven to 150°C
Into a large pot boil butter, Chelsea White Sugar, sultanas, mixed spice, baking soda, lemon zest, almond or vanilla essence and boiled water for around 10 minutes, allow to cool.
Once cool, add (in order) the beaten eggs then sifted flour, baking powder and essence. Mixed until just combined.
Pour into the cake tin. Mixture should fill 2/3 of the tin.
Bake for 1 hour at 150°C or until skewer inserted into the middle of cake comes out clean.
Allow to cool on a cake rack before cutting, if you can wait!
This a great recipe, I have now made it three times . It is really good, great for working bees .
