Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 50 milliliters whole milk
- 150 grams orange marmalade
- 50 grams crystallized ginger (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) or 160°C (320°F) if using a fan oven. Grease and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Add the milk and gently stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Fold in the orange marmalade and chopped crystallized ginger until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with icing sugar if desired, slice, and serve.
