1/4 teaspoon ground mace

1/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cups Black Treacle (can substitute dark molasses) **See NOTE about the quantity)

1/4 cup Golden Syrup (there is no substitute, the flavor is very different than corn syrup)

Homemade Golden Syrup (click link for recipe - it's very easy to make!)

1 cup loosely packed brown sugar

6 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons lard (optional, can substitute butter)

1/4 cup candied/crystallized ginger (, finely diced (optional)

Homemade Candied Ginger Recipe

1 large egg (, lightly beaten)

2 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

Generously grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Place the medium oatmeal in a large bowl along with the flour, spices, salt and baking powder. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan add the brown sugar, black treacle, golden syrup, butter and lard (if using). Heat the mixture until the sugar is melted (don't boil it) and remove from the heat. Let it cool for 5 minutes.Pour the hot mixture into the dry mixture and stir well to combine. Add the candied ginger, egg and milk and stir well to combine. The batter will be liquid and sticky.Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake 70-80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. The cake should be fairly firm but springy. Let the cake cool in the pan. Invert the cake onto a platter. Peel off the parchment paper. Cut the parkin into squares.

Place the squares in an airtight container and let it sit for at least 3 days before eating (not in the fridge or it will get hard). The oats will soften, the treacle and golden syrup will fully penetrate and soak through the grains, and the flavor of the spices will fully develop.
