  Absolutely delicious. Will definitely make again. Didn't bother with the icing so might try that next time.

  yum! but i mistook my cake tin size, stupidly i read 900g as being close to 1lb not 1kg so used a tin too small so bit spilled out and the top burnt but inside was a really good cake! cut of burnt top and did the icing nicely. mine also looked really pretty, wish i could upload the picture i took!

  Everyone else said this was delicious when I made it, but I'm not convinced. The flavours didn't seem to work well together and the texture wasn't quite right. It was a bit of a faff to make aswell!

  This is a delicious recipe and really easy to make - the warm ginger flavour enhances over a few days- so try not to trough it all in one go!

  Fantastic ginger cake! Added a bit of extra stem ginger as I'm a big ginger fan. Keeps for a few days as well without getting dry. Good stuff!

  Just delicious and so easy to make. No chance of leaving it for a couple of days to mellow, too tasty. Probably the best tasting cake I've made.

  A lovely cake which I will make again. I didn't bother with the icing so used a whole orange's zest in the cake rather than the half quantities of orange and lemon.

  The most delicious and easy to make cake. I don't personally feel the need to change the recipe. Certainly one to add to the list of favourites.
