- Stir in the sultanas and lemon rind and spoon over the crumbed base, smoothing over the surface.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes until golden- it will still be fairly wobbly, but don't worry, it will set as it cools.
- The cake sometimes cracks, but you can avoid this by letting it cool slowly- turn off the oven, open the door and allow it to cool as the oven does.
