Golden Syrup Cake Recipes

GOLDEN SYRUP CAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 160°c (140°c for a fan-assisted oven) and grease & line a 2lb loaf tin with grease-proof paper.
• Place the butter, syrup and sugars into a medium pan and heat gently until the ingredients are just melted together, stirring occasionally. Once melted together, set aside and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl/jug, beat the milk and egg together. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift the flour. Add the egg/milk mixture and the cooled syrup mixture and beat until combined and you have a lump free batter.
• Pour the mixture into your pre-lined loaf tin.
• Bake in your pre-heated oven for around 1 hour until golden on top and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
• Leave to cool for 10 minutes before poking the cake all over with a skewer and spreading 2 tablespoons of golden syrup over the top.
• Allow to cool completely before serving. For best results, leave the cake in the greaseproof lining & add a piece of extra greaseproof paper to the top, before wrapping in tin foil for a few days before serving. This will give a deeper flavour to the cake.

GOLDEN SYRUP CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 140C/fan (or 160/C - gas mark 3). Grease the tin and line the base with baking paper leaving a little to cover the bottom corners and sides. Press into place.
• Place butter, syrup and sugar into a large pan and heat gently until the ingredients are just melted together, stirring occassionally. Leave to cool for 10 minutes (it helps if you place the pan away from the hob during this time since it will remain warm).
• Beat the eggs with the milk. Add the flour and milk/egg mixture to the cooled syrup mixture in the pan and beat steadily with a wooden spoon until all the lumps have gone. This may take a few minutes so you will need a little patience. Pour the mixture into the tin.
• Bake for around 50 minutes. The cake will be well risen and springy, but still very moist. After a few minutes cooling time, pierce the cake all over with a skewer and spoon the extra golden syrup over the top. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
• This cake keeps for a week and only improves with time! A real treat and a cake you will be asked to make again and again.

• Bake for one hour at 180C (160 for a fan oven). Check after 45 minutes as soon ovens cook faster than others!
