In a small saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup over low heat, stirring until combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

6
Add the eggs, melted butter mixture, and the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until everything is combined smoothly.
7
Finally, add the vinegar to the batter and continue beating for an additional two minutes to incorporate air into the mixture.
8
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin, spreading it evenly.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when gently touched.
