Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 Tbsp butter
12 oz lyle's golden syrup
2 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 Tbsp soda
1 Tbsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 beaten egg
1 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. preheat oven to 350º, grease and flour an 8 or 9 inch square cake pan
  • 2. melt the butter with the syrup in a small saucepan (I have successfully substituted other syrups such as maple, or even Log Cabin, all molasses is a bit too strong, but ½ molasses and ½ Lyle's makes a nice rich cake.)
  • 3. sift all of the dry ingredients into a large bowl; add the beaten egg and milk and beat well, add the syrup/butter mixture and beat well, the batter will be quite liquid
  • 4. pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake 50 - 55 minutes until just done (if it is overcooked, it becomes dry.)
