Gluten Free Golden Syrup Cake
This Gluten Free Golden Syrup Cake is sweet, squidgy and syrupy all at the same time. This cake keeps well, in fact it gets more syrupy as the days go by when wrapped in cling film, and is also perfect for freezing.
You could even kick thing up a notch by using treacle to lighten the flavour, use a mixture of both, or just treacle for a richer version.
This wonderful nostalgic treat is sure to become a firm family favourite. Delicious served with warm custard or ice cream.
