Si and Dave served up a delicious spiced Jamaican style gingerbread pudding with chilli powder on The Hairy Bikers’ Comfort Food.

The ingredients are: 300g plain flour, 2 tbsp ground ginger (or according to taste – this makes for quite a hot cake), ½ tsp cayenne pepper (or more if you want it very hot), ½ tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground allspice, ¼ tsp mace, generous pinch ground cloves, 150g butter, 125g dark brown muscovado sugar, 150g golden syrup, 50g syrup from the jar of stem ginger (optional – replace with more golden syrup or honey if not using stem ginger), 200g black treacle, 250ml milk, 1 heaped tsp bicarbonate of soda, 2 large free-range eggs, lightly beaten and 1 jar stem ginger, drained, washed and very finely chopped (optional).
