Ginger cake

Ingredients

  • 4 oz unsalted butter
  • 4 oz soft brown sugar
  • 7 oz Lyle’s Golden syrup
  • 1/2 pint milk (UK pint, so 10 fl oz)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 8 oz plain flour
  • 3-4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300F.

Prepare (how? Lined with greaseproof paper and butter like the cheesecake I’d guess) a 7” square cake tin.

Sieve the flour, ginger and bicarbonate of soda into a mixing bowl.

Add remaining ingredients and beat together until well mixed (2-3 minutes).

Pour into tin and bake in oven for 2 hours 15 minutes.

Test for done with cocktail stick or skewer before removing for other. Leave a few minutes before turning out. Remove paper and cool on wire rack.

Wrap (cling film?) and store for a few days for better moist action.
