Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×4-inch loaf pan.
In a small saucepan, heat milk, sugar, butter, and golden syrup until boiling. Remove from heat and let sit briefly.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, ginger, allspice, and baking soda.
Stir the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Place the pan in the oven and immediately reduce heat to 325°F (160°C). Bake for about 1 hour, or until the top springs back when lightly pressed.
Let the loaf cool fully before slicing.

Add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.

Stir in 1 Tbsp molasses for deeper flavor.

Add chopped candied ginger or raisins for texture.

A simple lemon or vanilla glaze pairs beautifully with the spices.
