Step 1

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and light brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time.

Step 2

Gently heat the golden syrup. Stir it into the butter and sugar mix.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Add the butter mixture and milk, stirring until you have a smooth batter.

Step 4

Transfer the mix to a 20cm square cake tin lined with baking paper. Bake in the oven for 180C/160C (fan)/gas mark 5 for 35/40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Step 5

While the cake is cooling, make the frosting by beating the butter, icing sugar, and cinnamon to create a stiff icing. Drizzle in the double cream and whisk until smooth.

Step 6

When the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting over the top and cut into 9 squares. Keep refrigerated and enjoy within 3 days.
