Method

Preheat oven 190°C bake. Line a loaf tin (approx. 22cm x 12cm) with baking paper.

In a large microwave-proof bowl or saucepan, melt the butter and Chelsea Golden Syrup together.

Add egg and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar; mix well. Stir in all other dry ingredients except the baking soda.

Mix the baking soda with the milk and stir in. 

Pour into prepared tin and bake for 30 - 40 minutes, or until cooked (when a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean with no fudgy crumbs attached).

Cool on a wire rack. Slice and butter when cool.
