In a summer of celebration what's better than baking some of those british classics
This is the cake recipe that you will return to time and again, it is a lovely cake with an even crumb, even rise and not too dry around the edges with a light and airy texture. It does make a difference, and prevents curdling at the egg adding stage, if all the ingredients are at room temperature.
This traditional English Gingerbread Cake is moist, rich and treacly. The orange icing drizzle makes the cake even more indulgent and a great afternoon tea treat.
