"I found this recipe when I was looking for a cake that would keep or even improve after a few days. I was visiting my daughter who was researching seabirds on a remote scottish island so the cake had to travel north,then I did not know when I would be able to sail to the island. When I eventually arrived the cake went down a storm with her and her colleagues. So much so they phoned the local fisherman who delivers their supplies to get ingredients so they could make another one, after getting the recipe from me. It has been made many times since and I love it even though I thought that I didn't like ginger cake."
