Just had a quick look - have one in my bero book (probably got tons more that are a bit more upmarket but it would mean looking through about 30 books)

225g (8oz) plain flour
pinch salt
2 x 5ml spoon (2tsp) ground ginger
1 x 5ml spoon mixed spice
1 x 5ml spoon bicarbonate of soda
50g (2oz) soft brown sugar
100g (4oz) margarine
175g (6oz) black treacle
50g (2oz) golden syrup
150ml (1/4 pt) milk
2 medium eggs beaten
50g (2oz) sultanas (optional)

Heat the oven to 150c, 300f, gas 2. Grease an 18cm (7 inch) square deep cake tin.

Sieve together flour, salt, ginger, spice and bicarb of soda. Stir in the sugar.

Melt margarine, treacle and syrup gently. Gradually beat in the milk and allow to cool.

Add the beaten eggs and mix well. Stir treacle mixture into the flour and add the sultanas.

Pour mixture into the tin and bake for about 1 1/4 hours.
