You have to try!

Hello, this is so good. It's a sort of gingercake but called bread. My mum made it for visitors once and now has to do it every month we love it so much! It is called Irish Guinness gingerbread! It is very easy to make. Try it:

Ingredients:

150 g butter

300 g golden syrup

200 g dark brown sugar

250 ml Guinness

2 teaspoons of ground ginger – cinnamon – ground cloves

300 g plain flour

2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda

300 ml sour cream

2 eggs

A square 23cm baking tin

Recipe:

Preheat your oven to 170°C. Line tin with foil and grease it.

Then put the butter, syrup, sugar, Guinness, ginger, cinnamon and ground cloves into a pan and melt gently over a low heat.

Turn off the heat and whisk in the flour and the bicarbonate of soda. Take your time to get rid of all lumps in the mixture.

Whisk the sour cream and eggs together and add them into the mixture. Whisk again to get a smooth batter.

Pour into the tin. bake for 45 minutes to an hour.

Let it cool before cutting.
