A fond childhood memory is going to my grannies house after school and getting a slice of McVities Jamaican Ginger cake, thickly spread with butter to eat as I went on my way home. I love this bake and it's just as delicious served with custard as a dessert

5

Rub or cut in the butter until the mixture resembles crumbs
6

Pour the syrup and milk mixtures into the flour and beat until smooth.You'll need a few tablespoons more milk for a gluten-free cake. The consistency should be of double (heavy) cream so add at least 3 extra tablespoons
7

Pour into the loaf tin and bake for 45 - 50 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean
8

Immediately run a knife around the edge of the tin to loosen the cake if you haven't lined it with parchment, then let cool completely in the tin
9

Once cooled, turn out and wrap with clingfilm or foil
10

Let the cake sit for at least 1 day before unwrapping and slicing. This is what makes it sticky
11

Serve sliced spread with sunflower spread / butter or as a dessert with warm custard
