Easy Moist Ginger Cake Recipe

A simple, moist ginger cake inspired by the classic Lyle’s ginger cake

Ingredients

• Ginger cake ingredients
• 4 large eggs
• 85g brown sugar (I use panela sugar)
• 40g golden syrup
• 170g sunflower oil
• 180g plain flour
• 4 tsp dried ginger powder
• 25g grated fresh ginger (optional)
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt

Method

1. Make ginger cake
2. Add the eggs, brown sugar, golden syrup, and sunflower oil to a large bowl and whisk until combined.
3. Using a sieve, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and ginger powder, sifting them into the mixture and whisking them to make a smooth batter. Don't overwork the mixture.
4. Add the fresh ginger to the bowl if using.
5. Using butter, grease an 18cm nonstick cake tin with a removable base. Then, pour the combined mixture into the tin. For a loaf cake, use a 900g loaf tin.
6. Bake in the middle of a preheated oven at 160℃ for 50 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
