Ginger Cake
From crivers 15 years ago
- 90 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This is a satisfying dessert with toppings or without. Great as a snack as well, just not as healthy as some.
Ingredients
- 175g butter shopping list
- 175g soft brown sugar shopping list
- 175g golden syrup shopping list
- 200ml milk shopping list
- 2 eggs, whisked shopping list
- 325g self-raised flour shopping list
- 2 tsp ground ginger shopping list
- 1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda shopping list
How to make it
- Heat oven to Gas 2, 150°C, 300°F. Butter and line a 1kg (2lb) loaf tin with baking paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove cake from the oven and leave for 5 minutes, then turn out of the baking tin and cool. If possible, wrap cake in greaseproof paper and leave it in a tin to enrich for a week as it improves with age.

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 thi...more
