- 100g light brown soft sugar
- 100g runny honey
- 1 large egg
- 100ml milk
- 1 tsp mixed spice

Method
Step 1: To begin, heat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas 4. Then butter and line a 900g loaf tin with baking parchment.
Step 2: Using the Morphy Richards Total Control Hand Blender, beat the sugar and butter until creamy. Then whisk in the honey, egg, milk, spices and a pinch of salt until it becomes a loose batter. Then fold in the flour.
Step 3: Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 45 minutes. Using a skewer, pierce the middle of the cake and if the skewer comes out clean, the cake is cooked.
Step 4: Once cooked, leave to cool for 10 minutes. Then transfer onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
Step 5: To make the glaze, melt the butter and honey in a small saucepan until smooth. Once melted, leave to cool until thickened then drizzle over the top of the cooled cake. Leave to set, then serve!
