It's a Delia recipe from her early Book of Cakes which is invaluable.I use a loaf tin(skyline 2lb size and a liner that you buy in Lakeland,so much easier!)Please forgive imperial measurements but I have already halved the recipe to make just one loaf of this size!! 6oz plain flour 3oz butter 1 level tsp ground ginger 1 level tsp cinnamon generous grating of nutmeg(1/16) 1/2(half) levelteaspoon bicarb of soda 2 tablsp milk 3oz black treacle 3oz golden syrup 3oz soft dk brwn sugar 1 egg,lightly beaten Sift flour and spices into a large bowl Mix bicarb with milk and put to one side Measure treacle, syrup,sugar and butter in to a saucepan with 75ml of WATER. Heat gently until melted and blended. DO NOT BOIL OR GO ON FORUM !!!!! Add this mixture to flour and spices and add egg,bit at a time until well mixed and smooth.Beat with wooden spoon. Add bicarb and milk mixture. Pour in to tin. It takes 50 mins or so.It says 170 C for oven. Should rise well and be firm to touch,like sponge cakes. Supposed to leave for 24hrs.Can spread with butter but is fine without!! |
