I love sultanas too, but then I love loads of things, so not sure I could pick just one must have ingredient. Cinnamon would be pretty high up the list too. Ahh, come to think of it - how about chocolate, doh!Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-84863229108530150372012-02-05T01:52:20.583+00:002012-02-05T01:52:20.583+00:00The photos are gorgeous and droolworthy CC.

I'm not too big on buttercream, but the addition of cinnamon made me pause and think: "Hmmm, this might just work". Then this recipe came up, and, granted it contained no apples, but it had one major advantage over the cupcakes: no need to pipe the buttercream. Yay!<br /><br />About the baking process: the batter turned out incredibly thick, even after adding two spoonfuls of milk. The recipe said "dropping consistency" - well, I scooped up some batter with a spoon, gave it a hard shake, and the batter wouldn't drop. I turned the bowl upside down and the cake still wasn't going anywhere. I ended up adding way more milk - four spoons at least. I also had to bake it for about 40 minutes, but that was probably due to a slightly different size of the tin.<br /><br />Now, what became of that incredibly thick batter was a very sweet, solid - if crumbly - and comforting cake. It came out just as I wished it would, and this abundance of sultanas was just exquisite.morrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-83858586354869741482012-02-03T16:55:34.207+00:002012-02-03T16:55:34.207+00:00I totally agree with sticking to classics!
