Parkin Recipe - by request

Ruby_Pudding

225g SR Flour
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp bicarb of Soda
1 lightly beaten egg
115g caster sugar
60g butter
116g golden syrup
225ml milk

Grease a 25cm x 18cm cake tin and line with greased greaseproof paper.

Sift the flour, ginger & bicarb and stir in the sugar. Melt the butter and golden syrup together and add to the flour along with the egg and the milk. Mix until the batter is smooth. Bake for 1 hour at 150c or until the cake starts to shrink away from the sides of the tin. Leave to cool and then store for a couple of days before eating to allow the cake to become extra moist and sticky.

Can I ask about storage? Is it better to store it in a plastic container (very airtight) or a cake tin (dries it out a bit more so presumably it becomes stickier than in plastic) ???

I've only ever stored this in a plastic container so I wouldn't really know - it certainly develops and retains it's moistness very well in plastic but I guess either could be used - can anyone else advise?

I don't think it's a fan oven - just been to check and no sign of a fan. 150c is the temp I was given along with the recipe so I just assumed that would be the same for both types. I did begin checking to see if it was done after about 40 mins but it did take the full hour to cook right through.

From Vegan News..............

* 90 ml sunflower oil or groundnut oil
* 225 g medium oatmeal
* 115 g wholemeal flour
* 55 g soya flour
* 2 tsp ground ginger
* 1/2 tsp mixed spice
* 1 level tsp cream of tartar
* 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
* 140 g blackstrap molasses

Method

1. Place the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix in the oil.

2. Add the treacle and enough water to beat. Beat well.

3. Transfer the mixture to a 7" lined, square cake tin (or a lined baking tray) and smooth the mixture down.

4. Bake at Gas 6 (400 degrees F) for 30 minutes, then lower the gas and bake on Gas 4 (350 degrees F) for another 45 minutes. Test with a scewer - when done the scewer will come out clean.
