Recipe Introduction


The flavour of the cake will improve if it is stored in an airtight container for several days or a week before serving.


List of Ingredients




Milk - 300 ml (½ pint)
Golden syrup - 225g (8 oz)
Black treacle - 225g (8 oz)
Butter - 110g (4 oz), diced
Dark brown soft sugar - 50g (2 oz)
Plain flour - 450g (1 lb)
Bicarbonate of soda - ½ tsp
Ground ginger - 1¼ tsp
Medium oatmeal - 350g (12 oz)
Egg - 1, beaten
Icing sugar - to dust



Recipe



Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas 4. Grease and line the base of a 20 cm (8 inch) square cake tin. Gently heat together the milk, syrup, treacle, butter and sugar, stirring until smooth. Do not boil.

Stir together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and oatmeal. Make a well in the centre, pour in the egg, then slowly pour in the warmed mixture, stirring to make a smooth batter.

Pour the batter into the tin and bake for about 45 minutes, until firm to the touch. Cool slightly in the tin, then cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares and dust with icing sugar.

Makes 16-20 squares.
