Bread & Butter CAKE (not pudding)?!
Bread & Butter CAKE (not pudding)?
My grandma used to cook a Bread & Butter cake and I am looking for the recipe as she is no longer with us (and I didn't pay much attention at the time). The cake was like a proper cake - able to stand on its own, be sliced and served on a plate. I do not want the recipe for the pudding. Woolworths used to make this kind of cake a few years ago as well. When cooked the cake was a dark brown/blackish colour. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-)

Bread and butter cake
Ingredients
1/2 cup sultanas
2 tbsp brandy
20 thick slices panettone or white high-top bread
50g butter, softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
12 eggs, lightly beaten
seeds from 1 vanilla bean
1 tsp grated orange rind
2 1/2 cups cream
1 2/3 cups milk
410g can pie apple
icing sugar, to dust
Here's how
1. Put the sultanas and brandy in a bowl and leave for 15 minutes. Lightly toast the panettone, then butter on one side. Preheat the oven to moderate (180C). Grease and line a deep 25cm round cake tin.
2. Whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla seeds and orange rind. Stir in the cream and milk.
3. Dip each slice of toast in the custard mixture, then arrange in an overlapping spiral pattern, working from the outside of the tin into the centre. Spoon the apple between the bread slices and add the sultanas and brandy. Gently press the top of the bread down to pack tightly.
4. Pour the custard mixture over the bread and leave for 10 minutes. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes, covering with foil after 30 minutes, until the custard is set. Cool in the tin before removing. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
