Ginger Cake Recipe
This is a satisfying dessert with toppings or without. Great as a snack as well, just not as healthy as some.

  1. Heat oven to Gas 2, 150°C, 300°F. Butter and line a 1kg (2lb) loaf tin with baking paper.
  2. Melt butter, sugar and syrup in a pan on a low heat, mix so that the sugar has melted into the butter and syrup. remove from the heat, add the milk and blend until smooth, add the eggs and mix in. Finally fold in the flour, ginger and bicarbonate of soda, pour into the prepared loaf tin.
  3. Bake for 1 hour, then cover with baking paper and bake for another 30 minutes. To check that the cake is cooked insert a knife into the middle and it should come out clean.

Great gingercake high5 thanks


Great recipe! I love ginger...and this would be SO good with tea. Thanks for sharing! - Natalie


Sounds a good recipe, will give it a try although my cake making skills aren't all that, I think I don't cream the butter and sugar well enough..
so as this recipe doesn't need beating perhaps it will work out well for me, am going to try it this weekend, so keep fingers crossed
