Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cane syrup or black treacle with 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 heaping teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line the bottom of a buttered 8-inch round tin (2 inches deep) with parchment paper. Melt the cane syrup or black treacle. Beat the egg with the buttermilk. Sift together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix the dried currants or raisins. Add the egg mixture, then add the syrup mixture and mix well.
