Gooey treacle cake - a bonfir night speciality! Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Parkin! Posted Nov 3, 2001 by purplejenny This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 Yep. Great stuff. Sift 6oz self raising flour into a mixing bowl, add 2tsp ground ginger, grate in half a nutmeg. Add 12oz porrige oats, 2oz brown sugar, mix well. Melt 1oz of treacle and 4oz butter, then add to the mix with one egg and stir well. Bake at 150C for an hour and half. Yum To make extra moist, prick the base with a skewer and feed with ginger wine. Ideallly made a week in advance, but worth making now. Now what about bobbing for apples or apples on a string? Anyone gonna try that?? Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Parkin!
