2. Dissolve the yeast in warm water (not hot) and set aside to go frothy for 10-20 minutes.

3. Place the sunflower spread, sugar and salt in a saucepan and heat until the spread is just melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk.

5. Place the flour in a bowl, pour in the sultanas and any left over rum, add in the sunflower spread mix, yeast and egg then beat well.

6. Grease a babka or bundt tin and pour in the mix, bake in an oven preheated to gas mark 5/190°C for 35-40 minutes until a knife pressed into the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack, then dust with icing sugar.
