Easy Ginger Cake

Easy Ginger Cake- a very easy recipe for ginger cake which only requires one egg. Foolproof and works every time to make soft, moist, sticky ginger loaf cake, with golden syrup.

I love Ginger Cake. LOVE it. It's so sticky and delicious. It gives me fond memories of eating the Tate and Lyle Golden Syrup Cake in childhood. We would have it either as a slice to snack on after school or covered in custard for pudding. Amazing both ways. This Easy Ginger Cake is essentially the same style as that syrup cake but with added ginger. It's so light and moist, with a slightly sugary crust, that it's really hard to stop at just the one slice! You also only need one egg to make this cake which is a bonus, as I always seem to want to bake when I only have one egg.

As promised, it's a very easy cake to make. You don't need any fancy cooking skills. In fact, if you've never made a cake before, this is a great one to start with.

Make Easy Sticky Ginger Cake

Main steps of the recipe:

Cream the butter and sugar together. Mix with the egg, golden syrup, flour, bicarb, ginger and cinnamon.

Now boil the kettle and measure out the water. Start adding a little at a time to get a much thinner, smooth batter.

Pour the batter into a greased loaf tin, or use a liner (which is what I prefer).

Pop in the oven and 30 minutes later, you will have a delicious, sticky ginger cake! So easy.

Slice and enjoy with a cuppa, or pop in a bowl with hot custard for dessert!
