Moist would be good

I make this one from good food 101 cakes and bakes
Is lovely....

Sticky ginger cake with ginger fudge icing

for cake
200g unsalted butter
175g molasses sugar
3 tblsp black treacle
150ml milk
2 large eggs
4 pieces stem ginger drained from syrup and chopped
300g sr flour
1 tbsp ground ginger

for icing
4 tblsp ginger syrup drained from jar
300g golden icing sugar
140g unsalted butter softened
2 tsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 160C/gas 3/fan oven 140C
Butter and line 23cm round tin
Gently melt butter, sugar, treacle
Cool briefly then stir in milk
Beat in eggs and add chopped stem ginger
Stir in flour, ground ginger and pinch of salt
Combine thoroughly
Spoon mixture into tin and level surface
bake for 30-35 mins or until firm and risen (think i have found it can take a bit longer and cracks slightly on surface)
Cool in tin for 1 hour then transfer to wire rack
Skewer the top of the cake and pour 2 tblsp of the syrup over.
Beat together icing sugar, butter, lemon juice, and remaining ginger syrup and spread thickly over cake

Tried to look for it online but couldnt find it but this one on the good food website is similar and has got good reviews....
