GOLDEN SYRUP CAKE

Golden Syrup Cake. Exceptionally moist, tooth-achingly sweet and the delicious taste of this infamous British ingredient.

Ingredients
  1. 100g Butter
  2. 50g Caster Sugar
  3. 50g Soft Brown Sugar
  4. 200g Golden Syrup
  5. 200g Self-raising Flour
  6. 1 Eggs
  7. 150ml Milk
  8. 2 tbsp Golden Syrup







Instructions
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 160°c (140°c for a fan-assisted oven) and grease & line a 2lb loaf tin with grease-proof paper.
  2. Place the butter, syrup and sugars into a medium pan and heat gently until the ingredients are just melted together, stirring occasionally. Once melted together, set aside and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl/jug, beat the milk and egg together. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, sift the flour. Add the egg/milk mixture and the cooled syrup mixture and beat until combined and you have a lump free batter.
  5. Pour the mixture into your pre-lined loaf tin.
  6. Bake in your pre-heated oven for around 1 hour until golden on top and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  7. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before poking the cake all over with a skewer and spreading 2 tablespoons of golden syrup over the top.
  8. Allow to cool completely before serving. For best results, leave the cake in the greaseproof lining & add a piece of extra greaseproof paper to the top, before wrapping in tin foil for a few days before serving. This will give a deeper flavour to the cake.
