Gingerbread Traybake

Ginger and treacle are both rich flavours on their own but together they complement each other perfectly in this recipe, so perfectly it should be made at least once by everyone! 
 

 

Ingredients~ 

275g Golden syrup

275g Treacle

225g Light muscovado sugar

225g Softened butter

450g Self raising flour

2 Level teaspoons ground ginger

4 Large eggs, beaten 

4 Tablespoons milk

For The Icing 

225g Icing sugar

2 Tablespoons water

Method~

1. Pre heat the oven to 140'c fan. Grease a 30x23cm traybake or roasting tin and line with baking parchment. 

2. Measure the syrup, treacle, sugar and butter into a large pan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour and spices. Add the lightly beaten eggs and milk, and beat until smooth. 

3. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cake has shrunk away from the sides of the tin and when pressed in the middle with your fingertips springs back. Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes then turn out, peel off the parchment and finish cooling on a wire rack. 

4. To make the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl, add the water a little at a time and mix until smooth. Spoon over the cake and leave to set. Once cool cut into 21 pieces.
