Notes
- Buttermilk: Buttermilk is acidic which reacts with the baking powder and creates a soft moist texture to our cake. Due to the consistency of store bought buttermilk, it's the most reliable when baking, so is best not to replace with a homemade version.
- Sultanas or raisins: These help add a traditional element to this dish with either sultanas or raisins working here. Though if you hate them, you could replace with roughly chopped dried dates for a similar flavor.
- Baking tin: A spring form tin of 20 cm or 8 inches was used here, however, a standard cake tin of similar size would also work well.
- Best kept: In an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, it can also be frozen. Wrap individual slices and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
