Cake

  2. Add the flour, ground clove, allspice, ginger, cinnamon and yogurt to a large mixing bowl. Mix and set aside for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the egg, milk, molasses, salt to the bowl and whisk very well until all ingredients are incorporated.
  4. Stir in the oats and 40g of the walnuts, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Decorate by pushing the rest of the walnuts onto the top and bake for about 35-40 minutes until puffed up and the center is just set (ovens may vary). Use a skewer to test the center to see if it is completely baked. 
  5. Pour over the sticky topping and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.

Sticky Topping

  2. Use a skewer to make holes in the top of the cake and pour the topping over evenly and serve
