Best ginger cake recipe ever has disappeared - help!

Many years ago, MN had a recipe for ginger cake on it which was, with tweaks, one of my favourite recipes. I've gone to make it again this weekend, having recently come back to baking, and it has disappeared off the website.

Help!

It was here: www.mumsnet.com/food/recipe/883-Ginger-cake - but that now leads to a broken link.

Hi @LBOCS2 - sorry that link is broken. We know that a few things haven't migrated across since we launched the new platform, but we'll do our best to locate this recipe and get it reinstated if we possibly can.

Fab, thanks @DawnMumsnet - I will make sure to screenshot it next time as well to save the panic!

@LBOCS2 out of curiosity, what tweaks do you make to the recipe? I love ginger cake but can't eat the additives etc in the shop bought stuff.

I use stem ginger in syrup in it - so I crush two or three of them through my garlic press to get a really sticky mush and out that in, and then I substitute or just add some of the ginger syrup for the golden syrup in the recipe. It makes it more gingery and definitely a bit stickier.
