I had to convert the oven temp to 355F, so it was just under 180c. I let it bake for 40 minutes and checked it. When I was pulling it out to check, the top had a slight wobble, so I didn't think it was done. I inserted the toothpick and it was slightly sticky. I put it back in for another 5 minutes and checked again. There was no wobble, but the toothpick still was slightly sticky. I put a skewer in also. It came out clean. I let it sit for 5 minutes, which might not be enough time when using a glass bread dish because when I flipped it and turned it back upright, the top came off. I had a very small section from the center at the very top that wasn't actually cooked, so this worked out well because I could see that the rest was cooked. <br /><br />Mine came out very dry on the ends. I am wondering if I should have used more olive oil than the recipe called for, or maybe the treacle was bad?<br /><br />It is very rich tasting though. Much more ginger flavor than we are used to here LOL. I might try to make this again because the flavor and texture are not bad except that it is really far to dry to eat. I had to slather it with 3 tablespoons of butter in order to eat it.<br /><br />If you have any suggestions for what I may have done wrong, I would appreciate it.ladycbmechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15412850164737625534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082975144654323238.post-43994920058143319512018-10-19T20:10:55.267+01:002018-10-19T20:10:55.267+01:00I am American, but have been watching the Great Br...I am American, but have been watching the Great British Baking Show for some time and making their recipes when I can find the ingredients. I purchased treacle about 8 months ago from a British website who has a retailer here in the U.S. This is the first time that I have used it. I have a question about it. I measured out the treacle into my scales oiled tin dish. That is something I saw online that is supposed to make the treacle pour easier into the mixing bowl, and it did. What I hadn't realized is that the treacle had formed crystals on the bottom of the can. <br /><br />Was I supposed to stir it first before I used it, or was it too old to use since there were crystals?<br /><br />Because I am unfamiliar with treacle, I tasted the lid just after I opened it. It tasted very rich and sweet, but didn't taste spoiled. <br /><br />Please let me know about the treacle for the future as I plan to use it more often now that we are heading into the holiday seasons.<br /><br />Thanks, Shirlee Smith (Corpus Christi, Texas)ladycbmechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15412850164737625534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082975144654323238.post-23514301195405898302015-07-20T08:23:55.075+01:002015-07-20T08:23:55.075+01:00Brilliant.
