Sweet caramel and sultana slice

This light and fluffy sultana cake topped with a dense, creamy caramel icing might just become your new favourite sweet treat. While these two flavours of fruit and caramel aren’t put together that often, they definitely should be, as this slice is one of the easiest to make and comes out tasting so mouthwateringly good.

This recipe is flexible enough to play around with so if you’re not the biggest fan of sultanas then you could always switch it up with dried cranberries or even dried apricots to achieve a different flavour.
