Recipe of the month - Ginger cake (makes two)


8 oz dark soft sugar
6 oz margarine
8 tablespoons golden syrup
4 tablespoons black treacle
1 lb self raising flour
3 teaspoons ginger
1 egg pint milk
1/ 2 pint milk


Put Sugar, Margarine, Syrup and treacle into a saucepan and heat just enough to melt the margarine.
Stir in the flour, ginger, egg and milk. Mix until no lumps.
Pour into two 2lb loaf tins and bake in the oven gas mark 3 or 4
160-180C for approx 1 hour. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Great eaten straight away or if it’s left in an airtight box for a couple of days it goes sticky. Try it with butter on.

Enjoy.
