Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Preheat oven to 180°C or 356°F.

Melt 61.92 ml butter in a small pan on low heat, then set aside.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

In another pan, put 125 ml honey.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Heat 100 ml water and pour into pan with honey. Add 60 ml brown sugar, mix well to dissolve, and add 1 tablespoon rum and a pinch of salt.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Add 12 ml gingerbread spice mix.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Then 1 egg and melted butter, not too hot.

Switch on food processor (if you have a Kenwood, use the "K" Beater) and knead at slow speed 2 or 3 minutes, until mix is homogeneous.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Pour mixture into a cake mould, non-stick if possible.

Stage 9 - 40 min.

Cook for about 40 minutes.

Don't turn out immediately, but allow cool slightly first.
