Step 1/7
- 225 g dark brown sugar

Melt sugar, butter, treacle and syrup in a pan
Step 2/7
- 450 g Self-raising Flour
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp Mixed spice (or just cinnamon would do)
Mix flour, ginger, mixed spice in a bowl
Step 3/7
- 2 eggs
- 300 ml milk (semi-skimmed or whole milk)
Gently whisk the eggs with the milk.
Step 4/7
Add the milk and eggs mixture and melted butter mixture to the bowl containing dry flour mix.
Step 5/7
Pour into greased baking tray/loaf tin (30 x 23 x 4cm) lined with grease proof paper.
Step 6/7
Place in the top shelf of your oven set to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3 for ~50 minutes or until risen and golden. I like to cook it to the point that it’s still gooey inside.
Step 7/7
Allow to cool in baking tray slightly and then place on a cooling rack. You should be able to cut it into 16 generous slices.
