I haven't made this yet, but it sounds like a dense oatmeal cake but I could be wrong.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ginger
1/2 cup sugar (optional)
1 cup oats
1 cup milk
1/3 cup margarine
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup honey (mixed in england this would be treacle and golden syrup)
Directions:
1. Mix together the flour, baking powder and ginger as well as sugar if desired.
2. Soak oats in milk for 1/2 hour.
3. Melt margarine and add molasses and honey. Combine wet ingredients and add to dry. Pour into a 9 x 11 pan.
4. Bake at 325°F for 45 minutes or until it starts to come away from the sides of the pan.
