Petunjuk

Preheat the oven to 160C.

Sift the flour and spices into a bowl. Add the stem ginger and toss to coat (to stop the pieces sinking to the bottom when you bake).

Mix the bicarbonate of soda with the milk in a separate bowl.

Heat the treacle, golden syrup, sugar, salt and butter over a low heat, stirring regularly, until melted.

Add this to the flour and beat vigourously until smooth. Beat in the egg and then whisk in the milk until you have a smooth batter.

Pour into a greased and lined 2lb (900g) loaf tin and bake for 1 hr - covering with foil for the last 30 minutes to prevent over browning.

Remove from the oven and brush with the ginger syrup to glaze.

Leave in the tin for 24hrs for the flavours to develop (optional).
