Preheat the oven to 170C. Line the bottom of a square 18cm cake tin with baking parchment and grease the sides.
Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices into a large mixing bowl.
Put the butter, sugar, golden syrup and milk into a small saucepan and heat gently until the butter is melted and the sugar dissolved.
Pour the liquid from the saucepan into the mixing bowl with the flour. Whisk well and then beat in the egg too.
