How to Make Old Fashioned Boiled Sultana Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the egg mixture to the batter, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the sultanas and mixed spice.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
