Ingredients
Top tip: The plain, uncut cake may be wrapped in a freezer bag and frozen for up to 1 month. Allow to defrost before cutting and icing it.
- 175g (6oz) butter, softened
- 175g (6oz) dark muscovado sugar
- 250g (8oz) self-raising flour
- 100g (3½ oz) golden syrup
- 1 level tbsp ground ginger
- 4 medium eggs
- Stem or crystallised ginger, to decorate
- 350g (12oz) fondant icing sugar
- 18 x 28cm (7 x 11in) traybake tin, lined with baking parchment
Method
- Set the oven to 190°C (gas mark 5).
- Tip the butter into a bowl and add the sugar, flour, syrup, ginger and eggs, and beat the mixture until smooth. Spoon the mixture into the lined tin.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 30-40 mins, or until just firm to the touch in the centre.
