The winter holiday
season in England begins after Bonfire Night on November 5th when thoughts
turn to Christmas food.
A majority of my family don't like Christmas pudding, so I came up with this alternative which has become something of a tradition. It's made by the melting method, thus the mixture is thin and warm when it goes into the tin. If you are not accustomed to this it might seem strange but it works perfectly and shouldn't be baked in too hot an oven to prevent the top going crusty. Soft and moist is the byword for this cake which is almost a pudding.
Sticky Ginger Cake
Ingredients 225g Self Raising Flour 115g Butter 115g Light Muscovado Sugar 115g Black Treacle 115g Golden Syrup 250ml Semi skimmed Milk 1 large egg 25g cornflour 85g stem ginger - chopped 85g fresh ginger - peeled and finely grated 1 rounded teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking powder [7g] 18cm diameter deep cake tin with base and sides lined with greaseproof paper - this prevents not only sticking but keeps a soft surface to the cake. Method: 1. Combine flour, cornflour, baking powder, ginger and cinnamon together 2. Melt butter and brown sugar, syrup, treacle and milk together in a saucepan until smooth and warm but not hot. 3. Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the liquid mix until smooth 4. Fold in the beaten egg 5. Pour mixture into cake tin 6. Bake for 50 min - 1 hour at 160 Deg in a fan oven [170 Deg non-fan] 7. When cool, decorate by dribbling thin royal icing mixture over the top and sprinkle with chopped stem ginger. This cake is great served warm with whipped cream as a dessert, but also superb cold with coffee. The longer it's kept in an airtight tin, the more moist and sticky it becomes. Not that it's ever lasted more than 48 hours in my family, so I cannot confirm that statement. |
