I am so glad that you like it Lara, it took me several goes to get it right but it is now my favourite cake, and will be a base for other flavours in the near future.

I hope you don’t mind some randomer posting on your blog but over the last few weeks I have tried so many Ginger Cake recipes it has put me close to tears. Stem ginger, pickled ginger, pickled ginger juice, buttermilk, golden syrup, treacle, ground ginger… the recipes out there are ENDLESS and yet… none of them, even the fancy schmancy ones quite lived up to their rep and could be quite complex to make. Then I stumbled on this. You’re recipe… I read it twice… three times… surely not… I don’t need to go shopping? I don’t need to hop on one leg and recite the recipe backwards while it cooks? I followed your instructions, added the cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg (since I like those flavours) used Dark Brown Muscovado sugar and the cake is stunning! The flavour is AMAZING and it is sooooo good. Thank you, you are a blessing.

Gosh I made a very similar one tonight, only it has butter instead of oil and you cook it in a loaf pan. You chop up crystallised ginger and sprinkle on top then pour some microwaved honey over! Which reminds me, I probably should have taken a photo…

Do make it and let my know what you think Bethany – it is the easiest cake in the world to make. I wonder if some vanilla frosting would work spread on top?!

yum! I love the thought of a bit of crunchy fig seeds and some spicy hotness.
