Sticky Gingerbread image

This recipe takes no time at all to prepare, and is simply delicious. It's perfect for a well deserved tea/coffee break, but equally good served slightly warm with some good vanilla ice cream. My two young children love this cake-my 3 year old son calls it Mummy's special ginger cake! It keeps very well and freezes well too!
