Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease and line a 24x14cm loaf tin.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using hand-held beaters, cream butter with sugar and golden syrup. Add eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Sift together flour and bicarb, and whisk in spices. Add to butter mixture with milk that has been combined with lemon juice or vinegar. Beat until just combined. Pour into prepared tin.

Step 3

Bake for 45 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
