Tips:
- For a more intense ginger flavor, use fresh ginger instead of ground ginger.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to grease and flour your baking pan before adding the batter, so that the cake doesn't stick.
- To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
