MRS HOLYOAKE’S GOLDEN SYRUP CHOCOLATE SPONGE
This recipe is an absolute childhood favourite and was created decades before I was born, yet we devoured it every single birthday and Christmas growing up. It was originally created by Mrs Holyoake during Sir Keith Holyoake’s reign as NZ’s Prime Minister from 1957 to 1968. I sometimes add another egg and it works well but have kept the recipe as is for old times sake!
