| 1. Line a buttered 2lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper and paint the paper with a little melted butter. | 2. My tin measures 6½ x 3¾ inches at the base and is 3 3/8 inches high. | 3. Do not use a smaller tin as the mixture rises above the rim of the tin. | 4. Measure the molasses, syrup, sugar and butter into a saucepan with ½ cup of water, gently heat on a medium/low flame and stir gently until thoroughly melted and blended. | 5. Don’t let it boil! | 6. If it gets very hot, allow the mixture to cool slightly. | 7. Sift the flour, and spices into a large bowl. | 8. Mix the baking soda with the milk and set aside. | 9. Next add the syrup mixture to the flour and spices, a little at a time and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth with no flour lumps. | 10. Beat in the eggs a little at a time. | 11. Add the baking soda and milk. | 12. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake in the center of oven at 325 F convection (300 F fan assisted) for 1 to 1¼ hours, until it’s well risen and firm to the touch. | 13. Allow to cool for 5 or 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. | 14. Once cool, put into a tin for 24 hours then enjoy. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
