The Perfect Gingerbread Cake - The Royal Recipe
It amazes me how some food smells bring back memories. Whenever I smell someone baking gingerbread cake now it reminds me of walking home from school and entering the house to the smell of gingerbread cake my mother was baking. Oh it takes me back. Happy memories!
This recipe makes two cakes so refrigerate the second one (up to a month) or share it with family and friends. It's super easy to make, two pans and a bowl and the most moist, delicious, fragrant gingerbread cake I think you will ever have tasted. Try it. Link to the treacle and golden syrup below (but as say in the video, you don't have to use these)

Ultimate Ginger Loaf Cake | delicious. Magazine
Soft, squidgy and loaded with spice, our ultimate ginger loaf cake recipe makes a tempting teatime treat. The addition of black treacle adds real depth of flavour and creates the cake’s wonderful sticky exterior. If you’ve never made a ginger cake before, you’ve got to give it a go!
Ingredients:
175g unsalted butter, diced, plus extra for greasing
175g light muscovado sugar
175g black treacle
200ml whole milk
2 large free-range eggs, beaten
250g plain flour
1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp mixed spice
2 tsp ground ginger
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Grease and line a 1.5kg loaf tin.
2. Melt together the butter, sugar and treacle, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk. Set aside to cool until lukewarm, then beat in the eggs.
3. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, spices and a pinch of salt into a large bowl, then make a well in the centre. Pour in the milk mixture and stir to make a smooth batter. Give the bowl a sharp rap on a work surface to get rid of any air bubbles.
4. Pour the batter into the tin, then bake for 45-50 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Don’t open the door before 40 minutes has passed as your cake will almost certainly sink in the centre.
5. Leave to cool in the tin, then turn out. Wrap in baking paper, then cling film. Store overnight or for up to 1 week before serving.

Let's start by gathering our ingredients. We'll need:
300 grams plain flour
1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
360mL milk
1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
60 grams fresh ginger, grated
3 tablespoons treacle
5 tablespoons golden syrup
150 grams butter, softened
1 egg
Once we have our ingredients, we'll start by making the batter. We'll whisk together the flour, baking powder, spices, and grated ginger. Then, we'll add the treacle, golden syrup, butter, and egg and whisk until everything is combined.
The batter needs to sit for two hours before baking, so plan ahead and you can use any type of loaf pan you like, but a 9x5-inch pan will give you a nice tall loaf.
The batter will be quite stiff, but that's okay. We'll pour it into a greased and lined loaf pan and bake it in a preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the loaf is baked, we'll let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
This gingerbread loaf is perfect for afternoon tea or as a dessert. It's moist, flavorful, and has a hint of spice from the fresh ginger.
I hope you enjoy it!

How to Make Gingerbread Cake - The Victorian Way
???? Order your copy of Mrs Crocombe’s cookery book here: ????
Today we're in for a real treat. Mrs Crocombe is making one of her favourite recipes - a cheap and delicious Gingerbread Cake.
Visit Mrs Crocombe's kitchen:
INGREDIENTS
500g flour
200g butter (salted, or add a generous pinch of salt to compensate if unsalted)
200g brown sugar
500g black treacle
10-15g ginger
3 small eggs (or two large)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
A little warm milk
METHOD
Start by creaming the butter (stirring or beating the butter until it is a smooth, creamy and a uniform texture). Then, add the sugar and spice, ensuring that you mix them in well. Beat the eggs briefly before also adding to them to the mix.
Add flour a little at a time, mixing well between each handful. Pour in the black treacle as you go. A little warm water can be used to get the last of the black treacle out of the bowl. Then, add a pinch of bicarbonate of soda to the warm milk before pouring it into the middle of the bowl and mixing everything together.
Once the mixture is smooth, line a tin with butter and brown paper before pouring the mixture in. Place in the oven for about an hour at 180 degrees Celsius (an inserted knife or skewer should come out clean once the cake is cooked). Once ready, turn out the cake and leave it to cool, then cut into small pieces to serve. For decoration, try dusting with a little plain icing sugar or dipping the cake pieces in some fondant icing.

Written Recipe -
This gorgeous gingerbread cake is super easy to make and perfect for Christmas! It’s so easy to make! It’s basically a one-bowl recipe and you probably have most of the ingredients sitting in your pantry right now. All the mouthwatering flavour comes from deliciously rich golden syrup that mix with butter and brown sugar for a deep caramel flavour (YUM!). Then you add a handful of spices and you have the perfect Gingerbread Cake Loaf. I’ve made this loaf a number of times already and it’s a household fave, especially during the Christmas season.
