Moist spiced cakes that are rolled in sugar and spices.
Ingredients
  • For the spice mix:
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice
  • For the cakes:
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup golden syrup
  • ⅓ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 cup plain (all purpose) flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon spice mix
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, kept cold
  • 1 large egg
  • Sugar coating:
  • equal parts sugar and spice mix, combined.
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 175 C (350 F). Grease a 12 mini bundt cake pan or similar.
  2. In a small saucepan set over medium heat, stir together the honey, golden syrup, dark brown sugar and milk until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and reserve.
  3. In a food processor or with a pastry blender, combine the flour, baking powder, spice mix, and unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Whisk the egg into the cooled milk mixture and add it to the flour mix. Pulse a couple of times until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pan and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out free of crumbs. Let the cakes cool completely before rolling them in the sugar coating.
