  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
