Ingredients
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 125 g unsalted butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 ml milk
- 150 g sultanas
- 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tbsp confectioners' sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20x20cm (8x8-inch) baking tin. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Avoid overmixing — mix until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the sultanas and diced apple gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Spoon the batter into the prepared baking tin and spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the slice to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, dust the top with confectioners' sugar using a fine sieve. Cut into 12 squares or bars and serve.
