Indulge in sultan's daughter: A rich raisin chocolate delight

Sultan's Daughter is a delightful treat that fans of dried fruits will love. The recipe is simple, and even those who aren't daily bakers can manage it. You only need a sponge cake, pudding cream, raisins, and a generous chocolate glaze to impress your guests with an extraordinary dessert.

Sultana raisins are a real treat for those with a sweet tooth. Among other raisins, they are notable for their exceptional sweetness, lacking the typical tartness. This characteristic is why they are cherished by many. Sultanas often find their way into cheesecakes, fruitcakes, or the iconic PRL-era Sultan cream.

In this recipe, they are part of the glaze, enhancing the simple sponge and pudding cream. This dessert is made for adults as it includes the addition of rum. However, you can omit it to create a dessert for all ages.
