  42. h2. Method.
  43. Cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, then flours sifted
  44. with the ground ginger and mixed spice. Mix the melted golden syrup ( or
  45. treacle ) with the milk and add it to the mixture. This will be very
  46. sloppy, but that's the way it should be. Next add the boiling water to the
  47. carb soda in a cup, mix it into the cake mixture. Then fold in the ginger.
  48. Grease and line a cake tin with Bake paper on the bottom, and place in a
  49. pre-heated 180 C oven for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 145 C and bake a
  50. further 45 minutes. The cake is ready when an inserted skewer comes out
  51. dry. When cake is cold, ice with lemon icing and sprinkle chopped ginger
  52. on top. Then enjoy.
  55. No idea what she means by "melted golden syrup".
