Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 cup white sugar
6 ounces butter
3 tablespoons golden syrup
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4 inch loaf pan for baking.
In a saucepan, mix milk, sugar, butter, and golden syrup. Heat until boiling, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Sift flour, ginger, allspice, and baking soda into a large bowl. Mix in the milk mixture until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven, reducing the temperature to 325°F (160°C). Bake for about 1 hour, or until the top bounces back when gently pressed.
