    thank you torianut .. i actually got the recipe from a thread on this forum (MrBadExample put a pic of his on that thread too and his looks much better than mine grrr lolol)

    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.

    The recipe is originally from Ruby Pudding on this thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=273799

    you're welcome .. I dont think it has to be a loaf tin tho, I am doing another one later for another friend and am using a 'traybake' tin (dont know what they are called .. its just what i use for traybakes lol) .. i don't think it will take as long in the oven mind in one of those.

    Speaking of traybakes .. I made that malteser one last night .. oh my bloody good god its flamin gorgeous lolol
