  My husband loves ginger so I made this cake for his birthday. Everyone was not looking forward to it as no one else likes ginger! However............they all loved it! Some even had second helpings, much to my husbands dismay! Best ginger cake I have ever had and have already made it again since. Its light and the lemon icing really gives it a nice tangy taste. its not the same without that. Plus, very quick and easy to make.

  Great cake - although I had to guess the measures for treacle and golden syrup as I couldn't think of a way to weigh out 115g. Measures in tbs would have been easier.

  I usually make this cake as per the recipe and love it. It is also my secret work cake which I will not part with the recipe! Have made it without treacle as foolish larder error, it is not as nice but is ok, makes it a bit too sweet. Lemon icing is really vital as reduces the sweetness. Ace cake

  This cake is wonderful. I've made it twice in the last week for two different groups of people and everyone loved it. I didn't bother with the icing as I love ginger cake as it is and didn't fancy lemon with it. I'll never use another ginger cake recipe.

  This is a lovely moist cake. Personally I would of prefered to double the golden syrup and not use the treacle. On its on I was not too keen on the taste but I tried it again with some warm custard and think its delicious :)

  Made double the recipe yesterday and as I didn't have the right sized tins I baked it in loaf tins. I got one 2lb loaf and three 1lb loaves and baked for barely 50 mins. Two already given away. Tastes delicious. Haven't got round to doing the icing bit, might have eaten the whole thing by then.

  OMG!!!! I was a bit worried about how runny the mixture was as I poured it in to the tins (I used silicone loaf tins) but it turned out fab! I had doubled the ingredients as the feedback was so good and all went well.. Double quantity made two 2lb loaves and 6 muffins! - What a fab cake -= everyones favourite!

  I just wanted to echo all the praise this recipe gets. It's amazing!! I also sometimes get the sunken middle for reasons I haven't figured out, but when I do, I just used my smallest biscuit cutter and cut a small hole in the middle and then drizzle the lemon over it. Just looks like a ring cake then and no one's the wiser. And I get a yummy bonus piece of cake to "sample"! :o)
