Main ingredient: ½ tbsp milk
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
- 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.
- Heat the oven to 350°F and oil a 10 in round baking tin.
- Whisk the milk, olive oil and 3 tbsp sugar together in a large bowl.
- Add the flour and baking soda and mix to a thick, smooth batter, whisking out any lumps.
- 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.
- 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.
- Leave to absorb for at least 30 minutes before serving.
