Parkin Cake

Parkin is a classic British ginger cake, rich with golden syrup and black treacle, and given a bit of texture from oatmeal. It bakes up firm with a slightly crusty top, but the real magic happens after a few days of resting. Wrap it up tightly and let it sit for at least 3-5 days — it will transform, becoming wonderfully soft and sticky. You can keep it for up to 2 weeks, and it only gets better.
