- 1/4 cup Black treacle or molasses, (approximately 55 g)
- 1 cup Self-rising flour, (approximately 200 g)
- 8 ounces Unsalted butter (softened), (approximately 220 g)
- 1 cup Golden syrup or light corn syrup, (approximately 200 g)
- 1/2 cup Medium oatmeal or porridge oatmeal, (approximately 110 g)
- 4 tsp Ground ginger

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 140 degrees Celsius, or 275 F.
- Grease an 8 x 8-inch square cake pan with oil spray.
- Melt the butter, golden syrup, brown sugar, and treacle together on low flame. Use a large, heavy-bottomed pan so the ingredients do not stick. It is important to melt the components rather than boil them.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, ginger, nutmeg, mixed spices, and baking powder.
- Add the butter mixture and stir until all the dry ingredients are fully coated and combined.
- Mix eggs in the mixture slowly.
- Now pour the prepared batter into the baking pan and bake for one and a half hours. You may give extra time if required. Just make sure the cake is firm and golden brown.
- Remove the baking pot from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Cut the Parkin into pieces when it is completely cooled down. Store it in an airtight tin for three days to enjoy the perfect taste.
- Serve it simply or with any topping of your choice, and have fun.
