This cake is not for children because it is highly alcoholic. To make this cake, you need to soak sultanas in rum for a few days. I always have a jar of rum-steeped sultanas/raisins in my pantry. It’s good to have, because they do magic on simple ice-cream or chocolate or anything.
Cake Tin
Loaf Tin
Ingredients
Butter 125g
Caster Sugar 1/2 cup
Eggs 3
Self-Raising Flour 1 cup
Rum 1 tablespoon
Rum-steeped Sultanas OR Raisins 1/2 cup or more
Coarsely Chopped Walnut 1/2 cup *optional
Method
- Preheat oven to 180C. Lightly grease a loaf tin or line with baking paper.
- Beat Soften Butter and Sugar together in a large bowl until creamy. Add Eggs one at a time, beating well. Add Rum, Rum-steeped Sultanas and Walnuts, then fold Flour into the mixture and combine well.
- Spoon the mixture into prepared loaf tin, smoothing top. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until cooked. Cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes before turning onto a cooling rack because the cake is fragile.

Thanks for asking. I wish if you could have let me know about you and your blog. There are people who post my recipes on their website for their own profit. If you run your recipe site for the profit, as I see lots of ads on your site, I would decline your request.
