Does anyone have a good recipe for sticky ginger cake?

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

Both very good but the second one is my favourite.

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

Dont have link, sorry.. but 'Nigellas sticky gingerbread' is easy and sublime...

Crossed posts!!!

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.

I think I have this book! I have Nigella's Christmas. Will have a look at that.

Thanks for all the links too! Will have a look

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.
