Description
A rich, moist and flavorful golden syrup cake inspired by Mary Berry’s classic recipe. This traditional British cake is simple to make and perfect for teatime or dessert.
Ingredients
- 225g (1 cup) butter
- 225g (1 cup) golden syrup
- 100g (1/2 cup) light muscovado sugar
- 300g (2 1/2 cups) self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 150ml (2/3 cup) milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) fan or 180°C (350°F) conventional. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter, golden syrup, and sugar over low heat. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together.
- Pour the cooled syrup mixture into the flour and stir well.
- Add the egg and milk mixture to the batter and mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- The cake tastes even better after a day or two as the flavors develop.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- You can warm individual slices and serve with custard for a comforting dessert.
