225g butter
½ tsp each of almond essence, lemon essence, orange essence and vanilla essence
3 eggs

Boil the cornflour and water until thick, then cool.
Cream the butter, sugar and essences, then add the eggs, one at a time. Sift the flour, baking powder and coat sultanas with a few spoonsful. Add the remaining flour and baking powder alternately with the cornflour mixture to the creamed mixture. Lastly add the sultanas and pour the mixture into a paper-lined cake tin.
