McVitie's Lyle's Golden Syrup Sticky Pudding Cake, 150g

Product Information

Serve cold or warm for a few seconds in a microwave and serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or custard. An extra drizzle of golden syrup is highly recommended! Storing and Freezing On its own, I found the syrup cake a little too sweet but warmed and with custard it is sublime. Rich syrup, moist cake, yummy! I took one over to my daughter's for dessert and gave them the leftovers. When I returned a few minutes later for something I forgot she and her husband were very carefully dividing up the remaining cake and custard so they would have equal seconds. Add the cubed butter, golden caster sugar and golden syrup to a medium-sized saucepan. Heat on low until the butter has almost melted. Take the pan off the heat and mix well. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool. Spices - I use a mix of ground ginger, mixed spice (or all spice), ground cinnamon, nutmeg and salt Bake it as a traybake, cut into squares and serve warm with custard or vanilla ice cream and you have a wonderful dessert that will have everyone ask for seconds .

Lifestyle / AdditivesI love home baking but can't see the point of trying to either emulate McVities or best them with their syrup cake. I have been a fan of McVities Gingerbread for a long time, and more recently tried this Golden Syrup Cake. Although personally I find it a bit sweet, it has a very nice flavour and is sure to be a hit with both kids and adults. It goes well with a cup of tea of tea or coffee. Don't overheat the butter, sugar and syrup. It only needs to be just melted not brought to the boil. Brush your cake with a little extra golden syrup – though this is optional, the cake is plenty sweet on its own. Decorate with orange zest strips or leave plain. How to serve syrup cake

Step one – melt the butter, golden syrup and brown sugar together in a saucepan over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Take the pan off the heat and leave it to cool down a little.

To avoid lumps in the cake batter, sift the flour, bicarb, and spices and patiently stir in a little bit at a time by hand or into a bowl of a stand mixer
