Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup dairy free butter 125 grams
  • ½ cup golden syrup 120 grams
  • ½ cup light brown sugar 100 grams
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 cups self-raising flour approx. 250 grams
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup dairy free milk 60 ml such as oat milk
  • 1-2 tablespoons warm golden syrup extra for brushing

Instructions

  • Place the dairy free butter and golden syrup in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave gently for 30-60 seconds until melted. Stir and leave to cool to room temperature.
  • While the butter and syrup cool, preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf tin with a little cooking oil and line it with baking paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  • Add the brown sugar to the cooled butter and syrup. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, whisking very well after each addition. The mixture should become glossy and slightly thickened.
  • Sift the self-raising flour and salt into the mixture. Gently fold in the flour using a spatula or whisk, then slowly add the milk until a thick, smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • While the cake is still warm, brush the top with 1-2 tablespoons of warm golden syrup. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and enjoy on its own, or serve with extra golden syrup and dairy free butter if desired.

Notes

Flour: If you only have plain flour, simply mix through 4 teaspoons of baking powder which will be the equivalent of self-raising flour.
