This classic dark brown ginger cake is made from oats. In the past, it was often served with a seasonal fruit compote. The proper stuff, like this, should be extra sticky.

Allinson's

Is plain flour and all-purpose flour the same thing? In answer, yes and it is a staple baking ingredient in most kitchens.
We love Allinson’s Plain White Flour as it is expertly milled from British wheat. Whilst it doesn’t contain any raising agent, like Self-Raising Flour, it is often combined with baking powder or bicarbonate of soda in a recipe to create a beautiful rise in the oven.
This flour makes a whole host of bakes from scrummy scones to pretty tarts and pastries, producing a light and delicate texture. Also, a handy ingredient to have around when thickening sauces.

What is golden caster sugar? The perfect natural alternative to refined sugar. You can use it in the exact same way and quantity as caster sugar, however, this ingredient adds a magical touch to your bake; a warm golden colour and subtle buttery flavour, ideal for light and fluffy sponge cakes, satisfying shortbreads and dainty macaroons.

This was easy to make I altered the recipe slightly and added 4 tablespoons of golden syrup I left it three days wrapped in grease proof paper it was wonderful sticky and delicious served with warm toffee sauce and ice cream

I made this exactly as the recipe. It wasn’t particularly sticky, but I admit we started eating it straight out of the oven. I’m sure if you followed directions as in the previous review it would become so. It was a very easy cake to make, and had a lovely flavour.

easy to make, i swap the porridge oats for medium oatmeal, and wrap it up for a few days before eating as the taste develops and it gets stickier and yummier.
