Ginger cake made with three types of ginger and a wonderful mix of dark treacle and golden syrup
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Our thoughts are with the The Royal Family at this incredibly sad time as we join the nation in mourning the loss of our beloved Sovereign.
May she rest in peace.
Ingredients
8oz self-raising flour
10oz mixed fruit
4oz butter
4oz sugar
1/4 pint of water
1 beaten egg
Method
Put fruit, butter, sugar and water in a pan and simmer slowly for 20 minutes then allow to cool.
Add the beaten egg and stir in the flour.
Turn into a lined 6" cake tin.
Bake in a very moderate oven, 300-350 degrees fahrenheit, gas mark 2-3 for around 1.5hrs or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean.
I have made this in round tins 7.5" and 8.25" and also in a square 6" tin. It's come out perfect every time! Thank you Nanna.

A pleasantly soft and delicious cake, an experience you won't forget!
In May we always have an abundance of rhubarb. It’s a fantastic vegetable for crumbles, jam, cakes or just stewed with a bit of ice cream. We appreciate it even more because there isn’t much else from the garden at this time of year. Here’s a cake I bake a lot when there’s rhubarb about.
A delicious, chewy, satisfying nutritious rye bread packed with flavour from the added dried fruit and seeds.
Delicious and perfect fruit cake without fat or sugar.
