Ingredients

• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 grams Unsalted butter
• 240 milliliters Milk
• 60 milliliters Golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, milk, and golden syrup.

Step 2

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is fully melted and the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 5

Once the boiled mixture has cooled, slowly pour it into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract. Stir the egg mixture into the cake batter until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar or frost with cream cheese icing for extra sweetness.
