This is what I brought to our neighborhood watch meeting. It is such a hit! Many of my neighbors asked if I could share the recipe with them. I like to soak the sultanas first before baking so they stay plum and juicy instead of hard and dry. Don't want to break people's teeth while eating cake!

Ingredients

1/3 cup cooking oil or 100g butter
3 small apples (chopped, reserve some to decorate on top of the loaf)
2 cups of plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup of milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 sultanas (I soak them in water for 1 hour or so)
1 tsp brown sugar on top of the loaf (optional)

Method:

1) Get a large bowl, pour in oil.

2) Then add eggs, baking powder, flour, salt, vanilla essence and milk.

3) Chop up the 3 apples. I leave some to decorate on top of the loaf, it looks much prettier this way.

4) Drop in the majority of the chopped up apples into the batter. Mix well.

5) Place baking paper in a loaf tin. Spread the batter into the tin. Decorate some apple pieces on top of the loaf and sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the loaf.

6) Bake at 180 degrees for 1 hour. Check the loaf is cooked properly before removing it from the oven.
