Ginger Cake 8oz butter 8oz caster sugar 1lb golden syrup 1 cup milk 1 cup boiling water with 1 tsp of bicarbonate soda 1lb self raising flour 1tsp mixed spice 1tsp ground ginger Rub in the butter and flour until it resembles breadcrumbs, mix in the sugar and spices, add the syrup and the milk and water and mix to a dough. Pour into a tin and bake for: 1 - 11/4 hours at 170 degrees C Note. This is a big mix and will give you two cakes. We used two tins. Do thoroughly mix. You will find it is more of a liquid than a dough. And do use greaseproof paper to line the tins as the cake is sticky! My wife has made this twice now and it is great!
