Parkin Cake
Ingredients:
- Butter - 200g
- Egg - 1 large
- Milk - 4 tbs
- Golden Syrup - 200g
- Black Treacle - 85g
- Brown Sugar - 85g
- Oatmeal - 100g
- Self-raising Flour - 250g
- Ground Ginger - 1 tbs
Instructions
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3
- Grease a deep 22cm/9in square cake tin and line with baking parchment
- Beat the egg and milk together with a fork
- Gently melt the syrup, treacle, sugar and butter together in a large pan until the sugar has dissolved
- Remove from the heat
- Mix together the oatmeal, flour and ginger and stir into the syrup mixture, followed by the egg and milk
- Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 50 mins - 1 hr until the cake feels firm and a little crusty on top
- Cool in the tin then wrap in more parchment and foil and keep for 3-5 days before eating if you can – it’ll become softer and stickier the longer you leave it, up to 2 weeks
