Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup butter
⅔ cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup golden syrup (such as Lyle's®)
1 tablespoon golden syrup (such as Lyle's®)
⅓ cup molasses
1 ½ cups self-rising flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 large egg
½ cup whole milk

  • Cover pan tightly with foil or plastic wrap, without letting it touch surface of cake, and let stand at room temperature for at least 1 day and up to 5. Cut into squares and serve.

Overall, I thought this parkin recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

This parkin was too dense and dry for my taste. I'll have to try a different recipe next time.

This parkin was too sweet for my taste. I'll have to reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it.

I substituted some of the ingredients in this recipe and it turned out terrible. I don't recommend making any substitutions.

This is the best parkin recipe I've ever tried! The texture was perfect - chewy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The flavor was also spot-on, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice.
