I was going to ask my mum for hers. When I get chance to call her I will get it and post it for you. I remember hers being wonderful

I did make a delia one which was quite good but a bit dry - but I may have over cooked it a bit - I always have a fear with new recipes that it will be undercooked in the middle!

Here's my old Mum's recipe. The secret is to not overcook it and try and leave it for a week or at least a few days before you eat it - it gets stickier with time.
4oz marg
4oz golden syrup
4oz black treacle
4oz sugar
8oz plain flour
8oz medium oatmeal
pinch salt
4 teaspn ground ginger
2 teaspn ground cinnamon
1 teaspn bi-carb of soda
1 egg

Heat oven to 150 C
Melt marg in a pan and add syrup, black treacle and sugar and warm over a low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Sieve the dry ingredients into a bowl, make a well in the centre and add the syrup mixture and the beaten add. Mix well. If you feel the mixture is a little stiff add a little milk.
Pour the mixture into a greased tin, it should be about 1inch deep. Bake for 1hr.

Hi

Use the Yorkshire Parkin receipt of Delia's but instead of caster sugar
use Muscavo Sugar or Dark brown sugar, also add a teaspoon of
baking powder.
SLOWLY melt the butter or margarine in a pan,DO NOT BOIL IT, then add
the sugar to the butter and stir until both are well mixed
Add this to the dried mixture and mix throughly.
add the eggs and milk and mix again
Add mixture to a 2inch deep roasting tin or swill roll tin
and bake for 2 hours at Gas 1
I doubled the quantity of the mixture and it came out great.
