Best Yorkshire Parkin Blackberry Trifle Recipes

THE PERFECT TRADITIONAL YORKSHIRE PARKIN

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 275 F / 140 C / Gas Mark 1. Grease an 8 x 8-inch square cake tin.
• In a large, heavy-based saucepan, melt together the butter, golden syrup, brown sugar, and treacle over a gentle heat. Do not allow the mixture to boil; you simply need to melt them together.
• In a large, spacious baking bowl, stir together the flour, oatmeal, ginger, nutmeg, mixed spice, and baking powder.
• Gradually add the melted butter mixture, stirring to coat all the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
• Gradually beat in the eggs a few tablespoons at a time.
• Add a tablespoon of milk at a time if the mixture feels dry. You are looking for a soft cake batter. Stir well.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and cook for 1 1/2 hours, until firm, set, and a dark golden brown.
• Remove the parkin from the oven and leave to cool in the tin.
• Once cool, slice and store the parkin in an airtight tin for a minimum of three days for the best flavor.
• Serve and enjoy.
