Method:
1. Place the butter, sugar and treacle in a saucepan on a low heat, stir gently until it has all mixed together then leave to cool to room temperature.
2. Sieve the flour, ginger and cinnamon into the large mixing bowl.
3. Then add the beaten eggs and melted mixture to the (flour, ginger and cinnamon) mixing bowl.
4. Warm the ¼ pint of milk in the microwave for approx 30 seconds – 1 minute until it is just lukewarm then add the bicarb of soda, give it a quick stir in the jug then add to the mixing bowl.
5. Stir the ingredients together or give it a quick blast for about 20 secs on a medium setting with the electric whisk to ensure all the ingredients have combined.

7. Baking Times: Bake the cakes in the centre of the oven:-
2 x Sandwich Tins – Bake for Approx 35-40 Mins
1 x Large Tin – Bake for Approx 50-55 Mins*
*For the larger tin place a piece of greaseproof paper on top of the cake at about 40 mins cooking time, this will prevent the cake cracking or burning.
If the cake is allowed to mature, the greater the stickiness and taste.
