  I had no black treacle, so used all golden syrup. Absolutely delicious! Best ginger cake I`ve tasted. Very easy to make,lovely & moist & the lemon icing gave it a slight tang. Its now my husbands favourite cake.

  This has become our default ginger cake. It's moist with a wonderful texture and excellent taste. I made it for my dad's 80th birthday as he's a ginger-holic and my mum was soon asking me for the recipe. The only thing I do slightly differently is add slightly less stem ginger than stated. 3 knobs from a jar does the trick.

  It's very moist and lovely and it may be a tad too sweet for my taste.So a nice cuppa is a must with a slice of this cake. Than you. Rosa

  A very moist ginger cake which had people clamouring for more (and the recipe!). To make life easier I mixed the butter into the flour mixture in the Kenwood, as for pastry. I put the icing on straight from the oven and returned it to cook for 2 or 3 minutes which gives a crisp crunchy topping. This will be one of my 'staple' reicpes.

  Easy to make, very moist and sticky and yet light at the same time - ticks all the boxes!! I coated with lemon icing rather than just drizzling, a tangy taste with every bite!
