125ml golden syrup
125g butter
125ml castor sugar
2 eggs
5ml vanilla essence
250ml cake flour
5ml baking powder
60ml milk
Method
Pour the syrup into the base of a small ovenproof baking dish.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
Sift flour and baking powder and add to the creamed mixture with the milk to form a batter.
Spoon over the syrup. Bake at 180ºC for 25-30 minutes until a skewer inserted into the mixture comes out clean.
Serve warm with custard or cream.
Serves 4.
* Vary the flavour by using different flavoured syrups.
