Makes 1 medium sized cake

What you’ll need:

For the cake:

100g butter

200g dark muscovado sugar

125g golden syrup

100g Duerr’s Chunky Ginger Preserve

½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

What to do:

1) Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/Gas 4.

2) Line a 20cm diameter round tin with non-stick paper.

3) Melt the butter, sugar and syrup over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the Ginger Preserve, stir until melted then remove from the heat and stir in the bicarb of soda.
