Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup butter
⅔ cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup golden syrup (such as Lyle's®)
1 tablespoon golden syrup (such as Lyle's®)
⅓ cup molasses
1 ½ cups self-rising flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 large egg
½ cup whole milk

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper.

  • Cover pan tightly with foil or plastic wrap, without letting it touch surface of cake, and let stand at room temperature for at least 1 day and up to 5. Cut into squares and serve.
