Ingredients
  

Batter
  • 100 g Butter or Margarine Adds richness and moisture; margarine works for a dairy-free version.
  • 50 g Caster Sugar Provides sweetness and texture; can substitute with granulated sugar if needed.
  • 50 g Soft Brown Sugar Contributes depth of flavor and moisture; light brown sugar is a great alternative.
  • 200 g Golden Syrup The key flavoring agent that adds sweetness and density; avoid substitutes like honey or maple syrup to maintain taste.
  • 200 g Self-Raising Flour Ensures proper rise and structure; substitute with gluten-free self-raising flour mixed with ½ tsp xanthan gum if required.
  • 1 Free-range Egg Binds the ingredients for structure, essential for cake integrity.
  • 150 ml Milk Provides moisture and aids in combining the batter.

Equipment

  • loaf tin
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F).
  2. Grease a loaf tin thoroughly with butter or margarine and line with baking parchment.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the soft butter or margarine, caster sugar, and soft brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Gradually mix in the golden syrup until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Beat in the free-range egg until well combined.
  6. Gently fold in the self-raising flour and milk, alternating between the two until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
  9. Once baked, let the loaf cool for about 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack.
