It’s no secret I love ginger. Along with caramel and lemon, it rounds out my top three favourite flavours. I love it in Chinese cuisine, I love it in sweet sticky Ginger Crunch and I love it in this cake.
My Mama used to make an incredible Ginger Loaf as I grew up. It was hearty, full of bite and so satisfying with a thick slathering of butter. She gave me that recipe when I left home and try as I might to recreate the magic of that loaf, I can not do it.
This ginger cake recipe was the first (of many) I have made from The Cooks Companion. It is so so so good. It’s not like the loaf at all, but it has become my replacement ginger fix.
