Easy Ginger Loaf Cake – it’s a beauty! 

I thought it about time that we had a new traditional cake on the website. So I decided, with your help, to make a Ginger Loaf cake! 

Mine Ginger Loaf is a lighter cake – it’s not the sticky dark type. 

I cannot tell you how chuffed I am with this cake – it’s a total babe! It’s a gorgeous spicy golden cake – mmmm 

I quite like making loaf cakes (rather than round cakes) as I think it’s easier to handle and cut and always looks so pretty and neat

This one has a mixture of ginger and cinnamon as spices. And it delivers a lovely mild ginger flavour, warming and comforting.

The simple lemon icing just adds to the treat. Ginger and lemon go so well together. 

Please try it with the icing it’s so good 

A little about ginger

So it makes sense to eat ginger cake yes?
