Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

100ml vegetable oil, plus extra for the tin
275g self-raising flour
150g dark muscovado sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp ground ginger
50g treacle
50g stem ginger from a jar, finely grated, plus 1 tsp of the ginger syrup
150g icing sugar
½ lemon, juiced
4 crystallised stem ginger pieces, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Oil a 900g loaf tin (ours was 19 x 9 x 6cm) and line with a long strip of baking parchment. Mix the flour, muscovado sugar, baking powder and ground ginger together in a large bowl. Tip in the oil, treacle, grated stem ginger and 170ml cold water, then beat together until smooth using a wooden spoon.
  • Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 45-50 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
  • Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl, add the ginger syrup and mix in just enough lemon juice to make a thick, pourable icing that can coat the back of a spoon. Put the cake on a plate or stand, remove the parchment and drizzle over the icing. Immediately scatter over the stem ginger. Cut the cake into thick slices to serve.
