Ingredients

100g unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup golden syrup
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup self-raising flour
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tsps mixed spice
Icing sugar mixture, to decorate
Whipped cream, to serve

Method

1. Grease a 20cm square cake pan. Line base and sides with baking paper.
2. Place all ingredients, except icing sugar mixture and cream, in the small bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on low speed until just combined. Increase speed to medium. Beat for about 3 minutes, or until smooth and changed in colour. Pour into pan.
3. Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for about 45 minutes, or until cooked when tested (cover loosely with foil during cooking if over-browning). Stand cake in pan for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.
4. Dust cake with sifted icing sugar mixture. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream.
