Yummy Parkin - British Gingerbread / Cake image

I was born & raised in "Parkin Country" & I can't get enough of the stuff! I love it when it's really rich & sticky - fabulous with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. This is one version of Parkin, recipe from Asda.

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

100 g black treacle
75 g golden syrup
150 g butter
100 g soft brown sugar
175 g plain flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
275 g medium oatmeal
1 large egg
150 ml full-fat milk
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/ Gas 4. Line a deep 20cm square cake tin with nonstick baking paper. Put the black treacle, golden syrup, butter and sugar in a pan and heat gently, stirring, until the butter and sugar have dissolved. Set aside until lukewarm.
  • Sift the flour, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg into a bowl. Stir in the oatmeal. Lightly beat the egg and milk with a fork, add bicarbonate of soda and stir into the flour mixture, along with the butter and treacle until evenly mixed - don't overbeat. Turn into the tin and bake for about 50 minutes, or until firm when lightly pressed in the middle.
  • Leave for 10 minutes, then turn out and cool on a rack. Keep in an airtight container for two days before eating (to make sure it's good & sticky!).
