This is our family's version of this classic Yorkshire cake - it's got a lovely warming ginger taste, plus the full richness that comes through from the addition of the milk.
Ingredients:
4 ounces self rising flour
4 ounces wholemeal self-rising flour
4 ounces butter
5 fluid ounces milk
2 tablespoons corn syrup
4 ounces granulated sugar
2 ounces sultanas
2 teaspoons ginger powder
1 egg
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F Grease a metal baking tray with a pastry (or paint) brush or butter paper; turn the baking tray upside down after greasing with organic sunflower oil to allow any excess oil to drain away.
2. Melt together the butter, milk and golden syrup in a pan.
3. Sieve the flours into a mixing bowl, then add the sugar, sultanas and ginger powder. Add the melted butter-syrup liquid and the beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Stir well.
4. Pour into the greased baking tray and bake for about 40 minutes. Test for its readiness with a skewer or gently touching with a finger to see whether firm. Leave to cool and cut into squares.
