Yorkshire parkin
United Kingdom · Europe
Yorkshire parkin is a ginger-spiced cake made with oatmeal and dark treacle. Beryl Blackmore’s recipe, submitted to the BBC’s Mums Know Best programme, combines plain flour and medium oatmeal with ground ginger, cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda. Black treacle and soft brown sugar sweeten the cake.[1]
Her recipe lists lard or margarine as the fat, warmed with the treacle and sugar before joining the dry ingredients. Egg and milk complete the batter, which is baked in a lined square tin. Blackmore suggests serving the cake with a spread of butter.[1]
