Spicy Syrup Cake

May 3, 2009 |

Searching for a spicy cake featuring golden syrup then why not try this. It is delicious with fresh coffee as a supper time treat. Can also be used as a dessert with custard or cream.

Ingredients

100g/4oz butter or margarine
225g/8oz golden syrup
225g/8oz plain flour
1 tsp ground mixed spice
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
150ml/1/4 pint milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
25g/1oz caster sugar
handful of chopped glace cherries or dried fruit (optional)

Method

Preheat the oven to 160 °C (325 °F, Gas Mark 3).

Grease an 18-20cm (7-8in) square cake tin with melted butter or margarine. Line the base and sides with greaseproof paper and brush the paper with more butter.

Place the butter (or margarine) and syrup in a small pan and heat gently until just melted then stir the milk into the melted mixture.

Sift the plain flour, mixed spice and bicarbonate of soda into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Add the two eggs and caster sugar to the dry ingredients, then gradually pour the melted mixture into the bowl, stirring very carefully with a wooden spoon.

Beat thoroughly (still using the wooden spoon) until any lumps in the mixture are smoothed out.

You can also add a handful of chopped glace cherries or dried fruit at this stage (optional) and stir in.

Pour the mixture into the cake tin and set it on a baking sheet to catch any drips.

Bake in the centre of the oven for 50-60 minutes until firm and a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Transfer to a rack to cool then turn out.
