Winter holidays are filled with heartwarming favourites, like this dense cake studded with sultanas and choc chips.

150g sultanas
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
250g unsalted butter, chopped, softened, plus extra melted butter to brush
200g caster sugar
4 eggs
100g dark chocolate chips
3 1/3 cups (500g) self-raising flour, sifted
300ml pure (thin) cream

Glaze

1 1/2 cups (250g) icing sugar, sifted
3 teaspoons milk
50g dark chocolate, melted
2 tablespoons walnuts, toasted

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 20cm bundt cake pan well with melted butter. Chill, then lightly dust with flour, shaking off any excess.
2.

Place sultanas in a bowl with lemon juice and soak for 10 minutes.
3.

Place butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until fluffy and pale. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until combined. Stir through lemon zest, chocolate chips and sultanas and lemon juice. In 2 batches, alternately add flour and cream, beating well after each addition until completely incorporated. Pour into the prepared cake pan and cook on the lower shelf of the oven for 1 hour until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly in pan, then turn out onto a cooling rack.
4.

For the glaze, combine icing sugar and milk in a bowl, stirring until a smooth glaze. Transfer the cake to a serving plate, then drizzle with the white glaze and the melted chocolate. Scatter the top with chopped walnuts and allow the glaze to set before serving.
