Method

01
Preheat your oven to 180C/ Gas mark 4. Line your square tin with greaseproof paper and set aside.
02
In a large bowl, cream together the coconut sugar and butter. Beat in the egg, and mix in the treacle.
03
In a bowl, sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and ground nutmeg. Blend into the creamed mixture. Stir in the hot water. Pour into the prepared tin.
04
Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin before serving with icing drizzle or a scoop of ice cream for a moreish pud. If you want a fudgier consistency bake for 40-45 minutes.
