I would walk a long way for good ginger cake and for that reason I have cooked many. When we were small we would make fairy cakes at my Grandmother’s house using her old Bero cooking booklet. I came across this wondrous little cookbook amongst some other papers many years after she died and looking through it, saw a simple recipe for ginger cake. A few tweaks later, the addition of a bit of microwave melting and here it is – a delicious, sticky, dark and gingery cake. It is better after a few days, so make it ahead if you have a special occasion. Bake on, ginger lovers!
