A delightful ginger cake with a golden syrup twist, perfect for any occasion.
Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Sift the dry ingredients to ensure a smooth batter.
Add the butter and golden syrup to the dry mixture and mix until crumbly.
Use your fingers or a pastry cutter for even mixing.
Heat the milk in a saucepan until warm, then pour it into the mixture.
Do not let the milk boil to prevent curdling.
Mix the batter until smooth and pour it into a greased lamington tin.
Tap the tin gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes.
Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Let the cake cool, then dust with icing sugar before serving.
Wait until the cake is completely cool to avoid melting the sugar.
