High-Level Instructions:
Prepare: Preheat your oven and grease a loaf pan or a square baking tin.
Mix: Gently heat the syrup, sugar, and butter until melted, then let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
Combine: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, followed by eggs and milk, stirring until smooth.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool before slicing.

Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/350FGas 4. Grease and line a 28x18cm/11x7in baking tin with baking paper.

Mix the flour, sugar, ginger and bicarbonate of soda together in a bowl. Using your fingers, rub the margarine in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Add the beaten egg, syrup and hot water and mix well with a wooden spoon until combined.

Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 35–40 minutes, or until golden-brown and the top is springy to the touch.

Leave to cool in the tin. Once cool, cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Storage: This ginger cake often tastes better a day or two after baking, as the flavors have time to develop and intensify.
  • Add-Ons: For a twist, consider adding chopped crystallized ginger or a sprinkle of nuts for texture.
