Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Lightly grease a 25cm square (10 inch) cake tin and line it with baking (silicone) paper.
  2. (Try to use the correct size tin or the cake may crack.) Set the oven to moderate 180° C (350° F).
  3. Sift all of the dry ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Combine butter pieces, golden syrup and treacle in a small saucepan, cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted.
  5. (This step can also be done in the microwave.) Add water to syrup mixture.
  6. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the syrup mixture and the eggs.
  7. Mix until well combined.
  8. Don’t be concerned that the mixture is quite liquid at this stage.
  9. Pour cake mixture into prepared tin.
  10. Tap tin lightly on bench to dispel air bubbles.
  11. Place on centre shelf of 180° C (350° F) oven for 35-40 minutes.
  12. Check towards the end of the baking time to ensure the edges are not burning.
  13. The cake should be dark but must not be blackened at the edges.
  14. (If you do burn the edges, cut them off and ice over the edges and no-one will notice!).
  15. When the cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
  16. Then, carefully invert it onto a rack or bread board to cool.
  17. Icing the Cake: Sift the icing sugar into a small mixing bowl.
  18. In a separate small mixing bowl, beat the butter (or margarine) until smooth.
  19. Gradually add the sifted icing sugar, beating between additions until the sugar is completely mixed with the butter.
  20. Add the lemon juice and beat well until the mixture reaches an easily spreadable consistency.
  21. Spread icing over the top of the cake and (optional) decorate with pieces of crystallised ginger.
