Ode to George & Her Ginger Cake

Step 1

Grease and line an 8 inch tin. Pre-heat the oven to 170C/Gas 3. Put the butter, sugar, syrup and treacle into a saucepan and heat until melted.

Step 2

Mix the eggs and milk together. Sift the dry ingredients together. Add the dry mixture to the saucepan of melted ingredients, then add the egg mixture and beat until you have a smooth batter. (I used a wooden spoon for this.)

Step 3

Pour into tin and cook for 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in tin for 10 mins then pop onto a cooling wire and cut into squares when cold.

Step 4

My top tip is to add some chopped stem ginger – maybe two or three of the rounded ginger blobs you get in syrup. This ginger cake might also respond well to a little lemon icing – just lemon juice and icing sugar. Oh, and if this is going to be sent to school/work in packed lunches (which it very much should be) then do remember to wrap in greaseproof paper before you wrap in foil. The little blighters have a habit of sticking to foil thus losing the best, most sticky bit.
