Ingredients

  • 225 g of medium oatmeal
  • 2 tsp of ground ginger
  • 2 tsp of allspice
  • 0.25 tsp of salt
  • 150 ml of milk
  • 150 g of sunflower spread
  • 175 g of black treacle
  • 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 100 g of light soft sugar
  • 255 g of plain flour

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Line the base and sides of an 18cm square cake tin with greaseproof paper.

  • Step 2

    Sift the flour, salt, allspice, ginger and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Add the oatmeal and toss together well. Make a hollow in the centre.

  • Step 3

    Put the treacle, spread, sugar, milk and egg in a pan and stir over a low heat until dissolved. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well until thoroughly combined.

  • Step 4

    Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 1 hour until cooked through (to test it is cooked, insert a knife gently into the centre; it should come out clean).

  • Step 5

    Cool in the tin slightly, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
