Method

Preheat oven to 180° C, 160° C fan, Gas mark 4.

Add lemon juice to the milk and set aside.

Sieve together the flour, cocoa, caster sugar and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl.

Pour the milk, melted Flora and golden syrup over the flour mixture and stir until it becomes a smooth batter.

Halve the mixture between two 20cm greased and base lined sandwich tins and bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.

Check to see if your cake is cooked by inserting a skewer into the centre of each half. If it comes out clean, leave the cakes in the tins for 5 minutes before turning out and cooling on a wire rack.
