Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400º F

Cream together the oil and brown sugar. Sift in the flour, salt, baking soda, beet powder and ginger. Add the eggs, a little at a time, and stir gently until well blended

Fold the parsnips into the cake mixture.

Spoon the cake mixture into a loose-bottomed 10” cake tin which you have greased and lined and cook the cake for 70 minutes. Cool in the tin then slice in half, horizontally.

Spread blackcurrant jam over the bottom half.

For the buttercream, put the golden syrup, salt and cream of tartar in saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil.

Whisk the egg whites till soft peaks form and keep whisking while you gradually add the golden syrup mixture. Beat until thick and glossy (about 5 minutes).

Assemble the cake, layering the buttercream on top of the jam and topping with the remaining sponge.
