Servings:12quantities adjust to match

Ingredients

  • 14½ Tbsp milk
  • 10 Tbsp olive oil, plus extra for the tin
  • 10½ oz plain flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 7¾ oz granulated sugar, for the syrup
  • 1¾ cups water, for the syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for the syrup)

Method

  1. First make the syrup: put the 7¾ oz sugar and 1¾ cups water in a saucepan, bring to the boil, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until slightly syrupy. Stir in the lemon juice if using, then set aside to cool completely.
  2. Heat the oven to 350°F and oil a 10 in round baking tin.
  3. Whisk the milk, olive oil and 3 tbsp sugar together in a large bowl.
  4. Add the flour and baking soda and mix to a thick, smooth batter, whisking out any lumps.
  5. Pour the batter into the tin, level the top, and bake for 25 minutes until deep golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  6. Cut the hot cake into diamond or square pieces in the tin, then slowly pour the cold syrup evenly over the top so it soaks in.
  7. Leave to absorb for at least 30 minutes before serving.
