I found these little sultana loaves in the Women’s Weekly Easy Baking book. Obviously, going by the title, they are traditionally made in mini loaf pans – but I just did this batch as mini muffins – a perfect size for the kidlets! You can serve these with or without the icing and I added about 1/2 a cup of coconut just for a little extra flavour. Very easy and tasty too!

Ingredients

  • 125g butter, melted
  • 2 1/3 cups of sultanas
  • 2/3 cup caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • 3/4 cup self raising flour
  • Lemon Icing
  • 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
  • 20g softened butter
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice approx

Method

Preheat oven to 160 degrees C or 140 degrees in fan forced oven. Grease 12 hole normal sized muffin tray or mini loaf tray.

Stir ingredients in a large bowl with wooden spoon until combined.

Divide mixture into pan holes, smooth tops and bake about 30 minutes. Stand cakes for 5 minutes before turning out.

Make lemon glace icing. Drizzle icing over cakes.

Lemon Glace Icing

Sift icing sugar into small heatproof bowl. Stir in butter and enough juice to make a firm paste. Stir over small saucepan of simmering water until icing is just pourable.
