Sultana loaf

This is so easy to make and who doesn't love a slice of fruit cake? Perfect with an afternoon cuppa. 

*8oz self raising flour
*6 oz Demerara sugar
*6 fl oz cold tea
*8 oz sultanas
*1 egg
*Pinch salt

1)Place the sultanas in a large bowl and cover with the tea for 5 hours or overnight so they are plump and juicy
2)Pre heat oven to 180 C
3)Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin 
4)stir in the flour, sugar and salt into the sultanas and mix well
5)beat the egg and stir into the mix
6)spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and spread evenly
7)pop in the oven and cook for 1 hour, use a skewer to check it comes out dry, if not cover with foil and leave for another 10 mins and check again
8)leave in the tin for 15 mins then turn out on a wire rack to cool

✔️top tip: if you want a softer crust, cover with a tea towel whilst cooling - the steam will soften it.
