Now this recipe isn’t your traditional Teacake which is why it isn’t all one word in the title.  Confused?  Well normally a ‘teacake’ is made from a mixture of butter, sugar, eggs, flour and usually cinnamon beaten together to form light batter.

This Sultana Tea Cake has some of these elements, but the reason it’s Tea Cake is because ‘tea’ is a main ingredient.  The tea gives the cake a lovely brown colour and moistness.  Next time there is extra tea in the teapot, save it for this recipe.

This is the ultimate easy baking recipe with everything being mixed in one bowl and using only 5 ingredients.  A great recipe for the kids to help with.
