    Method

    • step 1

      sift flour, sugar,ginger,mixed spice & salt together.
    • step 2

      melt butter & treacle together.
    • step 3

      warm milk & add bicarb.
    • step 4

      add wet ingredients to flour mix, and stir well.
    • step 5

      add egg & stir again.
    • step 6

      place in a greased & lined tin & put into a pre-heated oven, 180c gas 4-5 and cook for approx 45-50 min, insert skewer or knife, if it comes out clean, I check after 30 min & cover top with greasproof paper to stop top from burning. Remove from oven when cooked & leave for 5 min before placing on a wire rack to cool. It will be moist & sticky next day but also delicious warm. The tin I use is 7.5 inches wide x 9.5 inches long & 3 inches in depth.

    question

    Can this delicious gingerbread be frozen? I am not sure it will make it to the freezer though!

    The perfect simple, sticky, flavoursome ginger cake. I use black treacle and heaped teaspoon spice measurements and it's just delicious. Also lovely warm with custard. Thank you so much for sharing it.

    I've made this cake many times. Tastes lovely without any alterations.

    easy to make , delicious light sponge. I increased the amount of ginger as a preference for stronger flavour
