Looking for a Sultana cake that doesn't have heaps

of butter in it.The ones I have seen seem to have a lot.
250 grams is about the average for them.I feel its a lot to
put in.Any recipes out there that don't have that much butter
in them please.

clivehell, IMO a good sultana does have "heaps of butter in it" to make it the good-keeping, moist cake that it is, however have you thought of trying the following recipe which I personally have not tried but others have!

"I think that it's a great recipe.so here it is again for those of you who wish to make it, Posted by darlingmole

1kg dried fruit (of your choice)
2 C orange juice OR 2 C strong black coffee (soak overnight)

Next day stir in
2 C flour
4 t Baking powder
1 t spice (or your choice; mixed or cinnamon!)
Pour into a greased tin and cook @ 180 deg C for 1-1/2hrs.
Turns out moist and freezes well.
ps: somepeople like the dried fruit soaked in sherry but I think that's a blatant waste of alcohol haha!
