      Ginger & Pumpkin Slices

      One of those great cakes that tastes better a few days after making, if you can keep it away from the kids that long

      Ingredients

      125g butter

      75g dark muscovado sugar

      150g golden syrup

      150g dark treacle (or once I actually used some overboiled marmalade)

      250g grated pumpkin or butternut squash

      300g plain flour (code 117 from Shipton Mill)

      1tsp bicarb of soda

      2tsp ginger

      2 medium eggs, beaten

      Method

      Grease & line a 23cm square cake tin.

      Put the oven on at 180°C.

      Dissolve the sugar in a pan over a medium heat, with the butter, golden syrup and treacle.  Then let it cool slightly.

      In a mixing bowl, add the grated pumpkin or squash, plain flour, bicarb of soda and ginger. Mix thoroughly.

      Stir in the treacle mixture and beaten eggs, until combined and then pour into the cake tin.

      Bake for 35 - 40 minutes, until firm.

      Allow the cake to cool in the tin, and then gently tip it out and slice.
