Ingredients

200 grams self raising flour

5 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

200 grams butter

350 grams golden syrup

100 grams light muscovado sugar

4 eggs, beaten

100 grams pecans, roughly chopped

For topping:

175 grams golden granulated sugar

1 egg white

Pinch of cream of tartar or juice of one lemon

85 grams sugar

100 grams pecan halves

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F, Butter and line the base of two 20cm cake pans.

Sift together the flour, ginger, baking powder and salt. Rub in the butter until it resembles crumbs. I made this in a food processor using pulses motions. It is much easier.

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and beat in the syrup, sugar, eggs, and pecans and ginger. Pour into the pans and bake for 45 minutes till firm. Cool in the pans 10 minutes.

Topping:

Put the golden sugar, egg white, cream of tartar and 2 tbsp hot water in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Beat 10 minutes till thickened and stiff.Layer the cakes with a little icing, swirl the rest over the top and sides.

Heat the 85 grams sugar with 4 tbsp water till dissolved, and then boil until It forms a caramel. Stir in the pecan halves, cool on an oiled baking sheet and use to decorate

Note: I used walnuts instead of the pecans as it is so difficult to

Find pecans in Egypt, however it was so delicious.

I love both sushi and ginger. I am trying to learn now how to make sushi and it is not as easy as it looks, but in my spare time I will get it right. Your cake is absolutely delicious! And it keeps well also which is an important aspect when cooking and baking. Bravo!
My best to you as always, Joymarie
