Week 7 - Treacle Sponge

Treacle Sponge

This week my Nan and Pops came over for Sunday dinner (roast chicken and all the trimmings), so knowing my grandad is particularly keen on puddings, I made his favourite - Treacle Sponge.

The recipe is from bbcgoodfood.com

Serves: 6

Prep: 15 mins
Bake: 40 mins
Total time: 55 mins

Ingredients

250g golden syrup
zest 1 lemon, plus juice of half a lemon
5 tbsp breadcrumbs
200g butter, softened
3 medium eggs
200g self-raising flour
5 tbsp milk

  • Method

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. 
    • 2. Combine the syrup, lemon zest, juice and breadcrumbs and spread over the base of a 1.5 litre baking dish.
    • 3. Beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one by one. 
    • 4. Stir in the flour and milk and dollop over the syrup. 
    • 5. Bake for 35-40 mins until golden and risen, and a skewer poked into the sponge comes out clean-ish. 
    • Serve with custard, cream or ice cream.
