Calories: 284kcal
Equipment
- 20cm deep square tin
- Saucepan
- Large bowl
- Sieve
Ingredients
- 150 g black treacle
- 150 g golden syrup
- 150 g dark brown sugar
- 200 g salted Homepride spread
- 250 ml milk
- 350 g plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 3 balls of stem ginger finely chopped
- 2 medium eggs lightly beaten
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan 140°C/gas mark 3, and grease and line a 20cm deep square tin with non-stick baking parchment.
- Heat the black treacle, golden syrup, sugar and Homepride spread in a saucepan over a medium heat, and heat until the sugar has dissolved and the spread has melted. Remove from the heat, add the milk and stir to combine.
- In a large bowl, sieve together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices and stir in the chopped stem ginger. Then make a well in the centre.
- Pour the syrup mix and eggs into the well in the flour and whisk together with a balloon whisk until you get a smooth batter, then pour into the prepared cake tin.
- Bake in the oven for 45 – 50 minutes, until well risen, firm to the touch and when a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into 16 squares.
