Product Information

A cup of tea - it's perfect to wash away the spicy sugars, especially a cup of spiced chai or a fragrant Earl Grey for an afternoon tea treat after an array of sandwiches As far as I know, there is no substitution for golden syrup in the states however you can easily make your own. Gemma has an amazing recipe here. Instead of a 2lb loaf tin, you can divide the mixture and make 2 x 1lb loaf cakes and share one as a gift, or eat one now, save the other the flavours to meld Heating- If you want to eat the next day, defrost in the fridge if required and microwave a slice for 30 seconds and serve with hot custard or melty ginger ice cream 💡Pro Tips

Ice cream - heat up and enjoy with a drizzle of single cream (half and half), whipped cream or vanilla ice cream So what about this Golden Syrup Cake then? Well, I know we used to buy the McVitie's version along with Jamaica Ginger Cake and we'd have a slice as a treat after tea. Wrap the cold cake in a layer of baking parchment and tin foil. It will keep for 4-5 days in an airtight tin. This cake is simply wonderful, a small piece is enough for most people though I will admit to having 'seconds'. It is very moist and though delicious on its own with vanilla ice cream it is heavenly.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 Milk - swap for any plant based milk of your choice, or a mix of milk and soured cream for a tangy flavour. Alternatively, you can swap 30 ml milk for 2 tbsps of ginger wine Sieve the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the milk mixture and beat until combined. Add the cooled golden syrup mixture and beat until combined. This will take a couple of minutes with a handheld electric whisk.

McVities Toasting Waffles 8 Pack

A gooey delight that will no doubt remind you of school desserts or 'afters' , or Sunday night tea. Mc'Vities Golden Syrup Cake is a real treat, served warm with custard or sliced cold, it's simply delicious. It may seem small, but it's so rich that two slices is more than enough for anyone, and I usually cut mine into eight. You can't beat the flavour of golden syrup, and even if not home made, to me this is British baking at its best. Unsalted Butter - for a delicious, moist crumb. If using salted butter, omit the extra salt in this recipe. Also note, this can be used straight out of the fridge
