Instructions
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (140°C fan) or gas mark 3. Grease a deep 22cm (9in) square cake tin and line it with baking parchment.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 4 tablespoons of milk.
- In a large pan, gently melt 200g of golden syrup, 85g of black treacle, 85g of brown sugar, and 200g of butter until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat.
- Combine 100g of oatmeal, 250g of self-raising flour, and 1 tablespoon of ground ginger in a mixing bowl, then stir this dry mixture into the syrup mixture, followed by the egg and milk mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top feels firm and slightly crusty.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin. Once cool, wrap it in parchment and foil, and store it for 3-5 days to enhance its flavor and texture.
