2 eggs
¼ cup low-fat milk
1 tablespoon margarine, melted

Topping
125g reduced-fat ricotta
Rind of 1 small orange, grated

Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly spray a loaf tin. Combine flour, sugar and sultanas in a mixing bowl. In another bowl mix remaining ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry, stir and spoon into tin.

Topping
Whip ricotta, rind and juice until smooth.

Variation
Replace half the flour with wholemeal self-raising flour and use 1 cup chopped dried apricots instead of sultanas.
