8 heaped tbs self raising flour
100-125 g butter
2 tbs sugar
2 eggs
1 Lemon
2 Handfuls of sultanas
Milk
Put flour into medium size bowl and butter into flour, rub in with fingers until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
Add sugar, eggs, sultanas, grated rind of the lemon and lemon juice and enough milk to make a very soft and moist mixture (nearly dropping consistency but with body).
Line a baking tin (a loaf tin works well) with baking paper and put the mixture in - DON'T mess with the mixture.
Place in a preheated oven to 200-190 C; top shelf and turn to brown the top of the cake evenly. (Take about 40-50 mins) Use the knife/skewer poking method to check that the cake is cooked.
When cooked place on a baking grid to cool.
Example variations - replace sultanas and lemon with:
Sultanas and Orange;
Sultanas and mixed spice;
Mixed spice and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
