Once dissolved, remove from heat and let cool slightly before adding butter, vanilla, and milk; whisk together.

Beat in 1 egg into the mixture.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring until just mixed.

Pour the batter into a lined 2 lb loaf tin.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.

Let the cake cool slightly before brushing the top with liquefied golden syrup (softened with boiling water).
