Super Simple Golden Syrup Cake Recipes

GOLDEN SYRUP CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160C (325F). Grease and line a 2LB loaf tin or an 8inch square cake tin.
• Put the golden syrup, butter, sugar and orange zest in a mixing bowl. Microwave for 40 seconds -1 minute or until butter starts to melt. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly if hot (otherwise you risk scrambling the egg).
• Combine the milk, orange juice, orange bitters and egg in a mxing jug. Gradually add to the bowl, stirring constantly, until combined.
• Sift the flour and salt over the bowl and then stir to comine until you have a smooth, slightly thin, batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for about 1 hour, tenting with foil after 40 minutes if the cake is colouring too much. Different ovens might require slightly longer cooking time, my cake was ready after 1 hour. Check the cake is golden, firm to the touch and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
• You can brush the still warm cake with some golden syrup if you like. Top with the orange zest if using.
• Serve cold or warm with custard, ice cream or whipped cream.

• Beat the milk and egg together.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl.

• Bake for one hour at 180C (160 for a fan oven). Check after 45 minutes as soon ovens cook faster than others!
• If you want you can poke holes in the top with a skewer after you remove from the oven and drizzle some more golden syrup over the top.
