Tips:

Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Peel and grate the ginger yourself to ensure the freshest taste.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
