Steam Butter Raisin Cake

225 g butter

185g soft brown sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

4 eggs

275g self-raising flour, sifted

3 tbsp evaporated milk

50g raisins

Grease and line a 20cm round cake pan.

Beat butter, sugar and essence until light and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add sifted flour and stir in milk to mix.  Stir in raisins lightly to combine.  Transfer batter to prepared cake pan.

Steam for 45 minutes or until cooked through when a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

Transfer cake to a wire rack to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing it out from the tin.
