Old Fashioned Gingerbread

Ingredients

220 grams softened butter
1 cup caster sugar
3 eggs
1 cup treacle
1 cup milk
3 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg


Preheat oven to 160C and grease a 23cm cake tin. Cream first two ingredients together until light and fluffy. Then add the eggs, one by one until well combined. Heat milk and treacle, cool slightly before adding to the butter mix. Sift dry ingredients together then fold into the wet mixture. Spoon the batter to the cake tin and bake for around 60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin before truning the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
