1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Trim off the thick top and bottom of the orange, so it sits flat.

Step 5

Sift dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl, tip in the orange mixture, then sprinkle sultanas over and fold all together, stopping as soon as ingredients are moistened.
