¼ cup (90g) honey- ¼ cup (90g) golden syrup
- ½ cup (90g) brown sugar
- ¾ cup (180ml) milk
- ¾ cup (105g) plain (all-purpose) flour, sifted
- 1¼ teaspoons baking powder, sifted
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon mixed spice
- a pinch of nutmeg
- 65g butter, chopped

Preheat oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Place the honey, golden syrup, sugar and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool until lukewarm. Place the flour, baking powder, ginger, mixed spice, nutmeg and butter in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. While the motor is running, gradually add the honey mixture and process until smooth.Add the egg and process for a further 1 minute. Spoon the mixture into 12 x ¹⁄³ cup-capacity (80ml) lightly greased mini Bundt tins and bake for 20–25 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Turn the tins upside down and allow to cool slightly. Remove the cakes and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with icing sugar to serve. Makes 12.
Tip: You can top the cakes with your favourite spring blossom for a pretty spring finish.
