    We made parkin at school which is a similar thing, the kind of texture you are after. Make sure you have at least one of the following - black treacle, molasses or that REALLY dark sugar (muscovado?) YUM!

    Made this yesterday, I made double quantity and did 3 x 1b loaf tins.

    50gm Black Treacle
    50gm Golden Syrup
    100gm Marg
    100gm Sugar

    Warmed together in a pan

    175gm Plain Flour
    1 teasp Bicarb
    1 tabsp Ground Ginger
    50gm Chopped Crystallised Ginger (optional, but worth it)

    Mixed together in bowl

    1 medium Egg beaten
    1/4 pt Milk

    Mix all ingredients together well to make a batter bake in 2lb loaf tin for 1 hour 180*c.

    We have this as a cake, or with extra thick double cream on, or you can have it warm with custard. It's deliciously sticky, and as a pudding a real winter warmer.:D
