I've tried many sultana cake recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of moistness, sweetness, and fruitiness.

I'm not a huge fan of sultanas, but I really enjoyed this cake. The cake itself was very moist and flavorful, and the sultanas added a nice touch of sweetness.

The cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little lighter and fluffier.
