Jamaica Ginger Cake

This cake is a tag naughty, but we love Anna's Jamaica cake... 

RECIPE 

Preheat the oven to 170c.

Put the brown sugar and the egg in a food processor or mixer and mix up till pale and fluffy, I use an electric whisk and a very large bowl but a mixer or food processor are perfect. Next add the golden syrup, the black treacle, the milk and the olive oil and whizz up till thoroughly mixed then tip in the dry ingredients. Mix for about a minute and then  pour into the bundt tin. Bake for about 40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Great warm with dairy free vanilla ice cream like Swedish Glace. Or iced with vanilla icing. Recipe at the end of the {honey cake}recipe.

Lastly, this cake could also be cooked with chopped nuts in it if you like a bit more texture. Just put 150g of chopped nuts into the mixture just before you put it in the baking tin.
