Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and line the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with parchment or waxed paper. Butter the paper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, fresh ginger, black pepper, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and granulated sugar. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed about 2 minutes,until light and fluffy. With mixer on low, beat in honey and molasses until well incorporated. Beat in eggs. On low speed and making three additions, beat flour mixture into sugar mixture, alternating with milk, until combined. Transfer batter to prepared baking pan. Bake on center rack 33 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven; cool on wire rack 5 minutes. Invert cake onto wire rack; remove paper. Invert again onto a second rack set over waxed paper.
- Meanwhile, prepare glaze. Sift confectioners' sugar through a wire mesh sieve into a medium bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine the cream, butter, and molasses; stir until butter is melted. Pour cream mixture into sugar; stir until smooth. Pour glaze over hot cake and, working quickly, spread evenly with a spatula to cover top. Let stand at least 4 hours.
- To neatly cut squares, place a ruler alongside one long side of cake. Beginning 1/16-inch from one narrow edge of cake, use the tip of a sharp knife to score the glaze in 2-inch segments. Reposition ruler on remaining sides of cake to mark 24 two-inches squares. Then, using a serrated knife, dipped in hot water and wiped dry between slicing, cut through at the score lines. Crisscross two strips on ginger on each square.

Steps:
- Butter and line a 23cm square baking tin (or use a shallow roasting tin, approx 30 x 20cm). Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Put the butter, sugar and treacle into a saucepan and heat gently for about 5 mins until the butter and sugar have melted. Stir in the milk. The mix should be just warm to the touch; if not, leave to cool a little longer, then beat in the eggs.
- Mix the chopped ginger and dry ingredients together in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour the melted mix into the well, then gradually draw the dry ingredients into the wet with a wooden spoon, until you have a thick, smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin, then bake for 1 hr until risen and firm to the touch. Resist taking a peek beforehand; the cake will sink if the oven temperature drops too quickly before it's cooked through. Poke a skewer into the centre to check that it's cooked - it should come out clean. If not, give it 10 mins more and check again. Leave the cake to cool in the tin. Once completely cool, turn out of the tin ready for icing, or wrap well in cling film and keep in a cool, dry place for up to a week.
- To make the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and add the gingery syrup. Beat well until you have a smooth, runny icing. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle with icing and cut into squares. If you're planning to let the cake mature for a while, make the icing on the day you want to cut it.

TRIPLE-GINGER MUFFINS
A baked good for the true ginger fanatic, these muffins pack some serious spice thanks to the addition of grated fresh ginger, ground ginger and minced crystallized ginger. Molasses, a key ingredient in traditional gingerbread, gives the muffins a beautiful golden hue and helps keep them moist for days - if they last that long. (Any variety of molasses will work here, but there may be some color variation depending on the brand used.) For larger, bakery-style muffins, use a jumbo muffin pan and bake the muffins for a few extra minutes.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter, eggs, milk, molasses and grated ginger, and whisk until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. (Be careful not to overmix! The batter will be slightly lumpy.) Stir in 3/4 cup crystallized ginger, reserving the remaining 3 tablespoons for the topping.
- Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the reserved crystallized ginger onto the tops of the muffins, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the muffins spring back when lightly pressed. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully transfer muffins to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, gather and measure all of your ingredients and preheat your oven. This will help ensure that your cookies turn out perfectly.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh ginger, butter, and eggs.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and also gives them a chewier texture.
- Bake the Cookies Until Golden Brown: The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. If you bake them too long, they will become dry and crumbly.
- Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Before you frost the cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
These triple ginger bars are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are soft, chewy, and full of ginger flavor. The cream cheese frosting adds a delicious sweetness and tanginess that complements the ginger perfectly. Whether you are baking them for a holiday party or just for a snack, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
