Sultana and Orange Peel Butter Cake

Decadent and flavour-packed, this cake is sure to be a wonderful addition to tea time alongside freshly brewed tea or coffee!

It is a "heavier" cake given the amount of moisture and richness, but this also means that it remains soft for longer.

Much like a fruit cake, there are a variety of textures, and the bitterness in the candied orange peel helps balance the sweetness of the sultanas.

Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed and sprinkle some powdered sugar to add some extra pizzazz!


Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days but best to keep in the fridge for a longer period.

    Would like to try this, but what is caster sugar? And where do you find candied orange peels? Can I substitute sour cream for yogurt?

      Caster sugar is basically finer granulated white sugar another name is: superfine sugar, baker's sugar, castor sugar, or bar sugar.

      Candied orange peels you may find it at the baking section but you can substitute with grated orange zest (approx 1 tablespoon). And yes you can substitute yogurt with sour cream. Happy baking!
