As the title says! If anyone has one they've tried and is pretty idiot proof, I would be v grateful if you could share Smile

Both very good but the second one is my favourite.

Nigella's sticky gingerbread from her Christmas recipe book is fabulous.

I always use this one

I leave out the stem ginger though as I’m not a fan :)

May be cheating slightly but I buy the Wrights ginger cake mix packet and a jar of stem ginger in syrup from the supermarket, add chopped stem ginger to the mix, bake it, then make a ginger syrup drizzle…

I use this one - it says gingerbread but it’s a cake. Sometimes I do it plain, and sometimes I put orange flavoured water icing on top with grated orange zest - it’s sublime.

The be-ro gingerbread (as in the cake, not biscuit) is wonderful.

Ha - I came here on seeing the thread title to post that exact one! It's delicious.

Are these recipes like the Jamaican ginger cake that comes in the green packet?? 😋😋

The second one I posted is. It's fantastic.

I posted an excellent recipe for gingerbread towards the end of this thread last year, with pic of how it turned out. It was excellent! Must make it again. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/food_and_recipes/a240680-i-had-forgotten-how-good-my-old-cranks-recipe-book#prettyPhoto

I made this Hairy Bikers recipe a couple of months ago and it tasted amazing. I know the list of ingredients looks daunting, but most of it is a pinch of this and that :)
You really need the treacle though to give it the amazing flavour.
I skipped the stem ginger.

Ginger cake is my favourite and this is the best one I have ever made. I put crystallised ginger bits on top rather than more stem ginger, and sometimes swap a few of the dates for prunes.
