Traditional Parkin

I made this today for the very reason that it says "it improves with keeping, so try to store it a week before cutting". I thought it would be good to take with us when we go away. I will let you know what it tastes like.
It's quite an unusual recipe as it has porridge oats and treacle, rather like a flapjack, but it also has flour, eggs and spices, like a cake. I look forward to giving it a taste! Let's hope it tastes nice, because it is not much of a looker!

20th Aug - I have bad news about the Parkin. When we went to eat it on holiday, it was really dry and not very appealing. The flavour seemed ok, but it didn't get eaten. I think the problem might have been the container that it was in. It might not have been air tight. I can't really give this a rating, and probably need to bake it again, but not for a while yet!
