  3. Put the oil and caster sugar in a bowl, and beat to bring together. Then add the eggs one at a time and whisk so the mixture comes together. It should look a bit like mayonnaise.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten free flour, xanthan gum, cinnamon, bicarbonate of soda, cream of tartar and salt. Fold the dry mix into the oil and sugar mix using a metal spoon. Add the lemon zest and grated apple. Drain the sultanas and add to the mixture
