A dessert dish from the British kitchen.
Ingredients
- 200g Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tbs Milk
- 200g Golden Syrup
- 85g Black Treacle
- 85g Brown Sugar
- 100g Oatmeal
- 250g Self-raising Flour
- 1 tbs Ground Ginger
Method
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a deep 22cm/9in square cake tin and line with baking parchment. Beat the egg and milk together with a fork.
- Gently melt the syrup, treacle, sugar and butter together in a large pan until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat. Mix together the oatmeal, flour and ginger and stir into the syrup mixture, followed by the egg and milk.
- Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 50 mins - 1 hr until the cake feels firm and a little crusty on top. Cool in the tin then wrap in more parchment and foil and keep for 3-5 days before eating if you can – it’ll become softer and stickier the longer you leave it, up to 2 weeks.
