Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• 1 tablespoon golden syrup
• ¼ cup white sugar
• ½ cup butter, room temperature
• 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet or jellyroll pan with foil.

Step 2

Beat 1/2 cup butter and sugar with an electric mixer in until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature egg and beat well. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually stir into butter mixture until fully combined. Spread batter into prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake in preheated oven until top springs back when touched lightly with a finger, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine condensed milk, golden syrup, and 1/4 cup butter. Whisk 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon flour; stir into milk mixture. Cook and stir until butter is melted and sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Spread over cooled cake. Allow to cool completely and set.

Step 5

Frost when set with chocolate frosting. Cut into bars and serve.
