-
Mix flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger, cinnamon and mixed spice in a bowl.
-
Rub in dairy free spread to get a breadcrumb type consistency.
-
Place treacle and golden syrup in a pan and heat until runny but not hot, take off the heat and cool until lukewarm.
-
In another pan add the milk and sugar and heat until sugar is dissolved. Cool until lukewarm.
-
Pour the milk mix into the flour and whisk with a bell whisk, add the treacle mix in along with the oil and whisk until well combined.
-
Grease and line a 2lb cake tin and pour in the mix, bake on gas 4 for 50 mins or until a skewer pressed into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the over and turn out onto a cooling rack. To get a sticky top place in an airtight container for 24 hours or you can't wait that long you can just eat it as it is!
NB: If you don't need it dairy free or vegan you can use regular milk and margarine or butter.
