Serves 8
110g unsalted butter, diced, plus extra for greasing
230g self raising flour
4g bicarbonate of soda
7.5g ground ginger
2.5g ground cinnamon
2.5g ground allspice
110g black treacle
110g golden syrup
110g dark brown sugar
140ml milk
45g stem ginger, chopped
140ml Coca Cola
2 eggs, beaten
creme fraiche and lemon zest to decorate
Preheat the oven to 200, gas mark 6. Grease and flour a 900g loaf tin, then sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices into a bowl. Add the diced butter and rub it in so it's like fine breadcrumbs.
Melt the treacle and syrup in a pan, then leave to cool to room temp. In another pan melt the sugar in the milk. Add the stem ginger and Coca Cola, then put this into the flour mix and add the treacle mix and eggs. Pour this all into the cake tin and bake for 45 mins.
To tell if it is cooked, insert a skewer into the middle. If it comes out dry and clean, it's ready. Cool a short while and eat warm with a little creme fraiche and lemon zest.
