Treacle Pound Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C for fan-assisted ovens) and line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

3. 3

   Beat in the treacle, golden syrup, and eggs until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go.

4. 4

   Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl and mix until combined.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Stir in the flour and almonds until evenly distributed.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top.

8. 8

   Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

   Tip: Don't overbake, as this can cause the cake to dry out.

9. 9

   Remove the cake from the tin and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

   Tip: This will help the cake to set evenly.

10. 10

    Once cooled, the cake is ready to be sliced and served.

    Tip: Enjoy!
