Cake
  • 225 grams self-raising flour sieved
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 115 grams Flora
  • 115 grams dark muscovado sugar
  • 115 grams black treacle
  • 115 grams golden syrup
  • 250 millilitres semi-skimmed milk
  • 85 grams stem ginger in syrup finely chopped
  • 1 egg
Ginger glace icing
  • 100 grams icing sugar sieved
  • 2-3 tbsp ginger syrup
  • 25 grams stem ginger finely chopped
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (that’s 160°C fan or gas mark 4) and grease and line a deep 18cm round cake tin.
  2. Combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices into a mixing bowl.
  3. Melt Flora with the sugar, treacle, golden syrup and milk over a gentle heat. Stir gently until the sugar has dissolved.
  4. Add the stem ginger to the flour and pour the melted ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  5. Stir thoroughly then add the egg and beat together. This will form the batter of this easy ginger cake recipe.
  6. Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  7. Leave your ginger cake to cool completely before turning it out onto a cooling rack.
  8. Make the icing by blending the icing sugar with 2–3 tablespoons of ginger syrup to form a runny icing (adding 1–2 teaspoons of water if necessary). Drizzle over the top of the cake and finish by decorating with the stem ginger for a beautiful iced ginger cake.
