175 Grams All Purpose Flour

1 Tbsp Ground Ginger

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1/2 tsp All Spice

1/2 tsp Grated Nutmeg

1 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Salt

100 Grams Oats - Quick Oats Work Best (or you can use milled oats for a finer texture)

150 Grams Soft Unsalted Butter

125 Grams Dark Brown Sugar

50 mL Golden Syrup

75 mL Treacle (Use Molasses if you can’t find treacle)

100 mL Cream

1 Egg

25 Grams of Preserved Ginger in Syrup, Chopped or Ginger Jam

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and line an 8inch square baking dish.

Sift the flour, spices, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Add the oats, set bowl aside.

Heat the butter, sugar, syrup, treacle and cream in a small pot over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.

Beat the egg into the sugar mixture and stir in the chopped ginger or ginger jam. Gently add the sugar mixture to the dry mixture and stir to combine.

Pour the batter into the lined baking dish.

Bake for approximately 40 minutes until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

Leave to cool then enjoy with a hot cuppa or some scotch whiskey.
