STICKY GINGERBREAD RECIPE

2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

4oz (100g) light brown sugar
8oz (225g) golden syrup

¼ pint (150ml) hot water

 

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C, gas mark 4). Grease and line a 9” (23cm) cake tin. Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger into a large mixing bowl. Put margarine, sugar, syrup and treacle into a saucepan; heat gently until the margarine has melted and the sugar dissolved. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour the mixture from the saucepan into the flour and beat well to mix. Add the beaten eggs and hot water and mix to a smooth batter. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Bake for 45 minutes until the mixture springs back when pressed slightly. Leave to cool for 10 minutes and turn out to finish cooling on a wire rack.
