Ingredients

CARAMEL ICING

Steps

01.

Preheat the oven to 180 C (160 C fan-forced). Grease a 11 cm x 25 cm (inside top measurement) loaf pan; line base with baking paper. Beat butter, sugar and spice in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

02.

Stir in sifted flour and soda, then remaining ingredients until combined. Spread mixture into the prepared pan.

03.

Bake for about 1 hour or until cooked when tested. Stand for 10 mins before turning onto a wire rack to cool.

04.

To make caramel icing, melt butter in a small pan; add sugar and milk, stir until mixture boils. Cool. Stir in sifted icing sugar.

05.

Spread caramel icing over cooled loaf; slice to serve.
