Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 170 degree Celsius.

Grease and line a loaf tin.

Melt butter, water and honey together in a small pot or in microwave.
Step 4
Sift flours, bicarbonate of soda, gound ginger, nutmeg, salt and mix in brown sugar well.
Step 5
Mix melted ingredients with dry ingredients either with a mixer, food processor, stab blender or the old fashioned spoon or whisk (it is a thick mixture).

Pour into prepared tin.
Step 7
Bung in the oven and cook for 45 minutes (test with skewer and if dry o'kay) if not could require up to another 15 minutes.
Step 8
Don't ask me why but it always takes somewhere between 45 to 60 minutes to cook and never the same twice and I've been cooking it for over 30 years
