If you are Irish, or just wish you were, make this quick bread for mum to celebrate Mother’s Day. Guinness bread is easy to make. If you aren’t familiar with black treacle, it is a dark, thick syrup that is a byproduct of refining sugar. It is also known as the British version of molasses and has a slightly more bitter flavour which is perfect in this Guinness bread. Serve with butter and honey.
