Traditional Parkin image

My mum always makes this around my birthday (5th Nov). This is best made a day or two in advance to allow the flavours to develop and the parkin to become moist and sticky. It will keep for up to a week in an airtight container. Double the batch and make 2 cakes. Eat 1 and freeze the other for later - simply remove from the tin and wrap well in foil. Will freeze for up to 3 months.

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 10

100 g butter
125 g black treacle
100 g honey
225 g oat bran
100 g plain flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
100 g light brown sugar
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
50 ml milk, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325F, and grease and line a 10in square cake tin with baking parchment. Heat the butter, treacle and honey together in a saucepan over a low heat until melted.
  • Meanwhile, combine all the dry ingredients except the bicarbonate of soda in a bowl.
  • Stir the bicarbonate of soda into the warm milk until it dissolves. Pour the milk over the dry ingredients and mix well, then add the melted treacle mixture and stir again to thoroughly combine.
  • Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 50 minutes, or until just firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely in the tin. It will sink slightly in the middle as it cools.
  • Remove from the tin and place in an airtight container or wrap in foil or clingfilm.
  • Store in a cool, dry place. To serve, cut into 16 squares.
