8 ozs plain flour
head teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
at least 2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon mixed spice
2 eggs beaten
1/2 pint milk
Method
1. melt marge, sugar and treacle in a pan an allow to cool.
2. Put flour salt and spice in a bowl
3. Add milk, eggs and melted mixture to flour
4. Beat well and pour into greased tin.
5. Bake till firm to the touch for 1 1/2 hours at oven mark 3 or around 150 degrees electric.
Hmmm might try making this at the weekend - maybe.
Think I remember making it with rum soaked raisins on my great Aunt's instructions I wonder if I am remembering right. Maybe I should try it and see just in the interests of science of course.
