125g soft brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp mixed spice
125g sultanas
125g currants

Beat together the eggs then add the cake mix along with the milk and the golden syrup.

Divide the resultant batter between two 500g loaf tins then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for 60 minutes (cover the top with foil if it's colouring too quickly).

When done, allow the bara brith to cool in the tins for 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

Serve sliced with butter and jam.
