Treacle Flourless Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20cm (8in) round cake pan. Line the base with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

   Tip: Make sure to beat the eggs well to incorporate air.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix the batter.

4. 4

   Stir in the golden syrup and treacle until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

5. 5

   Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

   Tip: Don't open the oven door until the cake is done.

6. 6

   Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. 7

   Once the cake is cool, dust with powdered sugar and serve.

   Tip: You can also store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
