Yields6 Servings
Prep Time15 minsCook Time1 hrTotal Time1 hr 15 mins
 120 g treacle
 80 g golden syrup
 170 g butter (dairy or dairy free), plus extra to grease
 200 g medium oatmeal
 200 g wholemeal flour
 3 tsp ground ginger
 ½ tsp ground nutmeg
 175 g soft dark brown sugar
  tsp fine salt
 1 ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
 1 egg
 45 ml milk (dairy or plant milk)
1

Weigh out the treacle, syrup and butter into a medium saucepan and place on a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until melted together. Do not let the mix come to a boil.

2

Grease the rice cooker inner bowl

3

Combine the flour, oatmeal, spices, sugar, salt and bicarb in a large bowl and whisk to mix.

4

Pour the treacle mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until no more dry pockets of flour are visible.

5

Beat the egg with the milk, then stir into the cake mixture to create a batter that’s loose enough to pour into the tin – if it’s still a bit too thick, add a little more milk.

6

Pour the mixture into the inner bowl, level the top, then select the 'CAKE' setting for 60 minutes. Press 'START'

7

At the end of the cooking cycle, check it’s just firm in the centre and the cake springs back when pressed with a finger (carefully!).

8

Cut into squares or rectangle and enjoy!
