Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20cm (8-inch) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a non-stick spray for easy cake removal.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

   Tip: Whisk to ensure even distribution.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the treacle, brown sugar, milk, eggs, and melted butter.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for a smooth batter.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the currants.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

6. 6

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Avoid overbaking for a moist cake.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: Serve warm or at room temperature.
