This is a classic Scottish teatime cake that is tasty, yet quite simple to prepare. In essence, this is a gingerbread that also contains marmalade in the mix.
Combine the butter, syrup and marmalade in a small pan. Heat gently over low heat until melted (stir to prevent the mixture from burning) then take off the heat and set aside to cool.
Sift together the dry ingredients into a bowl. Form a well in the centre then add the syrup mixture and the beaten egg. Beat the mixture to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Turn the resultant batter into a greased 20cm (8 in) square baking tin and transfer to an oven pre-heated to 170°C (340°F) and bake for about 45 minutes or until the sponge is firm and the top is golden brown (a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake should emerge cleanly).
Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares and storing or serving.
