Steps:
- Boil the barley as per your cooking instructions, usually about 1 hour simmering, drain and rinse to stop it cooking any further.
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- In a bowl put all the dry ingrediants; flour, ginger, bicarb, and almonds.
- Melt the butter, sugar and treacle.
- Remove from heat and stir in the milk, and gradually the beaten egg.
- Pour the liquid into the dry mixture and stir well. Stir in the lemon juice, zest and natural flavouring.
- Pour into two greased and lined 23cm sq baking tins, or similar sized round tins. Bake for around 1 hour, until a knife comes out clean.
- Once the cake has cooled, slice off any crusty edges as the pearl barley gets quite hard on the edges.
