400-500 g sultanas Cover with water and simmer for 10 mins.Drain off most of the water and put in 225grams diced butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp each of almond, lemon, vanilla essence and stir till butter melts. Lightly beat 3 eggs and add with 1 3/4cups flour and 1 tsp baking powder.Put into tin. Optional topping - chopped nuts and cherries sprinkled over cake before baking. 20cm square tin for 45-50 mins at 180 C.As soon as taken from over, squeeze over the juice of 1/2 a lemon (optional but yummy). We sold heaps of these in our coffee shop.(We'd cut each one into 9 huge peices)

500g sultanas, 3 eggs, 3 c flour, 1 t baking powder, 1 t almond essence, 250g butter, 1 & 1/2 c castor sugar. Boil sultanas in sufficient water to cover for 8 mins. Strain off water & cut butter into hot sultanas. Beat eggs with sugar until creamy, add to sultanas & butter. Sift in flour & b powder, add essence. Put into lined tin & bake at 160 for about 1 & 1/2 hours. Check after 1 hour. My mum always made this & it's yummy. Also good with some lemon or orange rind instead of essence.
