Title: Jean Toynbee's Ginger Cake
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

8 oz Self-raising flour
4 oz Soft brown sugar
1/2 ts Bicarbonate of soda
1 Dessertspoon ground ginger
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 pt Milk
4 oz Butter
4 tb Black treacle
2 Eggs

Mix the dry ingredients and pass through a sieve into a pudding basin. In a
saucepan, heat the butter, milk and treacle until melted and combined. Beat
the eggs into the dry ingredients until thoroughly mixed and smooth, then
beat in the treacle mixture. Use a food processor if you like.

Pour into a greased 20cm/8in round deep cake tin and bake in a preheated
oven at 170 - 180C / 325 - 350 F / Gas 3 - 4 for about 45 minutes, or until
the top springs back when pressed.

Cool in the tin and place in an airtight tin for a couple of days to
encourage moisture. Or serve hot as a pudding with mounds of clotted cream
and stem ginger in syrup.
