Ingredients
150g unsalted butter, softened
200g brown sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup Saunders' Malt Extract
1 cup (150g) self-raising flour
1 cup (150g) plain flour
150g hazelnuts, toasted, roughly chopped
150g raisins
120g white chocolate, chopped
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 20cm square cake pan with baking paper. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat 8-10 minutes until thick and pale. Beat in the eggs and Saunders' Malt Extract, occasionally scraping the side of the bowl, until well combined.
Add the flour in 2 batches, beating until just combined. Add the hazelnuts, raisins and chocolate and mix until just combined. Spoon mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden, then cover with foil and bake for a further 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out with a few fudgy crumbs. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
Using a serrated knife cut into 10 pieces to serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
