I make this Sticky Gingercake a lot when we are going somewhere for a few days – It lasts really well and the stickiness gets even better if you can leave it alone in tin foil for about 3 days. I tend to make double so we have some to eat while the rest is ‘improving’.
STICKY GINGER CAKE
| Meal type | Dessert, Lunch, Snack |
| Misc | Child Friendly, Freezable, Pre-preparable, Serve Cold |
INGREDIENTS
- 8oz Butter
- 8oz Soft Light Brown Sugar
- 6oz treacle (I tend to just pour it in and guess – these are rough estimates)
- 8oz Golden Syrup (Again just pour it in over the sugar and butter)
- 4 teaspoons ground ginger
- 7oz plain flour
- 2oz porridge oats
- 2 Large eggs (whisked)
- 1/2 pint Milk (I use Semi Skimmed)
DIRECTIONS
| 1. | |
| Preheat the oven to 160C and line a 10″ square tin (not a loose bottomed one) | |
| 2. | |
| Melt the butter, sugar, treacle, syrup and ginger in a pan, slowly – When melted, remove from the heat and allow to cool | |
| 3. | |
| In a large bowl, add the flour and oats. Make a well in the middle. | |
| 4. | |
| Gradually add the eggs and then the cooled butter/syrup mixture – keep mixing together. | |
| 5. | |
| Whilst still mixing, add the milk. | |
| 6. | |
| When all combined, pour into the tin (it will be a pourable consistency) and bake for 45-55 minutes | |
| 7. | |
| A needle should come out clear and the cake should be fairly crisp on the top. Enjoy! | |
I love ginger cake, and the stickier the better. Like you say the problem would be letting it improve, without eating it. I’ll have to add this to my recipe book! #TastyTuesdays
Hiya – Hope you enjoy it when you bake it. Soon you will never leave the house with some wrapped in tin foil!
Mmmm I love gingercake, this one looks so yummy! Thank you for mentioning my cake and I’m all linked up x

One does one’s best 😉 They actually add a lovely chewiness
Lovely! I don’t think I could leave it alone!
Me neither – that’s why I’ll never be size 8!
Delicious – I’m not sure we’d be able to keep it a few days in my family, everything gets eaten in one sitting here (hungry teenage boy!!)
Wow this looks incredible, I could gobble it right up now! Ginger cake should not just be reserved for the Autumn (reminds me of bonfire night) …and childhood, I really must make it. Thanks so much for linking up to #tastytuesdays x
Yep, I always think of Parkin and Bonfire Night. Its too good to leave until the autumn.
My kids have just discovered the joys of sticky ginger cake- might try this one!

They’ll love it and the recipe makes loads!
I’ve never made a ginger cake before, it looks really simple. I like the way you add oats as well!
They add a bit of interesting chewiness (But then it is still lovely without). Thanks for visiting, Lorna.
I love ginger cake so I might have to make some of this for when we go on our holidays. I will join in with the link next week too after I have made my sons birthday cake.

I’m not a fan of ginger to be honest so won’t be making this one – even though you’ve made it sound lovely!
Mmmm – I love ginger cake. Sticky sticky goodness 🙂 #sharefriday
