Ingredients
350g plain flour
225g light muscovado sugar
100g Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil
3 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
Pinch of salt
60g treacle
225ml boiling water
1 tsp ground cinnamon
80g chopped dried dates
Method
Place all of the ingredients into a bowl and beat until you have a smooth golden brown batter. Pour into 8inch/20cm square tin lined with baking paper and bake at gas mark 4/ 180°C for about 35-40 minutes until risen and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Tip…
When weighing the treacle, put the spoon into a jug on the scales, then zero them. Use the spoon to dollop the treacle into the jug without scraping the spoon, then re-zero the scales and weigh 225g of boiling water into the jug which will dissolve all the treacle, saving any sticky scraping of the spoon.
