Preheat your oven to 180°C and line an 8inch square tin with parchment.
Put flour, spices, soda and butter into a bowl, and mix until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add sultanas and ginger.
In a saucepan gently warm the milk, sugar, treacle and golden syrup together, stir occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
