Sticky Ginger Cake

oh Yummy…..yummy……yummy!

First Recipe trying out my new oven. Baked perfectly and tasted even better….lol!

 

225g Black Treacle

255g Soft Light Brown Sugar

255g Butter

2 eggs, beaten

350g plain flour

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp ground ginger

pinch salt

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

250ml warm milk (I used semi-skimmed)

 

Method:-

  1. Melt together Treacle, sugar and butter, mixing all the time
  2. Remove from heat and mix in the eggs                                        Add in egg to melted mix
  3. Sieve flour into a large bowl, add the salt, cinnamon and ginger and mix together until combined                                                                               Add in dry ingredients to melted mix
  4. Mix bicarbonate soda to warm milk then slowly add to the mixture and mix well
  5. Line a 10″ square baking tin and grease                   Pour mixture in tin
  6. Pour mixture into tin and bake in the oven. I used my new Cake function, if you don’t have this then bake 140 deg for about 1-1.5hrs. Test with a knife, if it comes out clean its ready.
  7. Serve with some warm custard or ice cream.

Rump in Black Treacle Marinade

rumpcooked

I got this idea from Tom Kerridge, I would never have thought to marinade in Black Treacle but it was absolutely delicious.

  1. Season Rump Steaks with salt and pepper put into dish and cover with black treacle, cover with cling film and marinade in refrigerator for 24 hrs or overnight.
  2. Flash fry steaks on both sides in frying pan with little oil for about 4 mins each side.
  3. Transfer to cooking tray and put in oven on Multilevel at 60 deg for an hour. (will be cooked rare)
  4. If well done cook for about 15-20 mins at 210 deg and then let rest for 5 mins.

So tasty!
