Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

225 g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground mixed spice
115 g butter, cut into cubes, plus extra for greasing
115 g dark muscovado sugar
115 g black treacle
115 g golden syrup
250 ml whole milk
85 g ginger in syrup, drained and finely grated
1 egg
50 g icing sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to fan 160C/conventional 180C/gas 4. Butter and line an 18cm round, 7cm deep cake tin with greaseproof or parchment paper.
  • Put the flour, bicarbonate of soda and all the spices into a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Put the sugar, treacle, syrup and milk in a medium saucepan and heat, gently stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat and bring the mixture to just below boiling point.
  • Add the stem ginger to the flour mixture, then pour in the treacle mixture, stirring as you go with a wooden spoon. Break in the egg and beat until all the mixture is combined and it resembles a thick pancake batter. Pour this into prepared tin and bake for 50 minutes-1 hour, until a skewer pushed into the centre of the cake comes out fairly clean. Leave to cool completely in tin before turning cake out. (To freeze: wrap in greaseproof paper, then in cling film. Freeze for up to 1 month.)
  • To make the icing, mix together icing sugar and lemon zest, then gradually add lemon juice until you have a smooth, slightly runny icing, adding more juice, if needed. Drizzle icing in a zig-zag pattern over surface of cake, turn cake around and drizzle again to create the cross-hatched finish.
  • Cake keeps for up to 2 weeks stored in an airtight container.

I didn't have any crystallized ginger, so I used fresh ginger instead. It worked just as well.

The cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the lemon icing helped to balance it out.
