Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Spoon the golden syrup into the bottom of a 1.5 litre ovenproof dish.
- 2
In a large bowl mix the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and sugar.
- 3
Add the oil, the 240 ml oat milk, the vinegar and vanilla. Stir until just smooth with no dry flour left.
- 4
Spoon the batter gently on top of the syrup. Bake for 35 minutes until risen, golden and springy to the touch.
35 min - 5
While it bakes, mix the custard powder and 2 tbsp sugar with a splash of the custard oat milk to make a paste.
- 6
Heat the rest of the oat milk until steaming, then stir it into the paste. Return to the pan and stir over a low heat for 2 minutes until thick.
2 min - 7
Spoon the sponge into bowls so the syrup runs over it, and pour over the hot custard.
