Don’t you just love moist Ginger Cake? I made my recipe using fresh ginger and a toffee glaze that can also be used as a caramel sauce. You won’t believe how easy it is to make! So whether you want gingerbread flavor cake at Christmas or just love ginger – this recipe is for you! I’m always asking friends for baking requests. This recipe came about when a friend requested Jamaican Ginger Cake. The problem I had with that was I’d never had Jamaican Ginger Cake before. It’s a little difficult to make a recipe for something you’ve never had before. I did some research and came across many different versions. None of which contained fresh ginger. I thought a ginger cake should have a distinctive ginger flavor. So I came up with my own version of the cake.
Why This Recipe Works:
These wonderful little cakes are a cross between a sticky toffee pudding and Jamaican ginger cake. Made with fresh ginger, they are packed full of flavor. The sweet, buttery toffee glaze makes the perfect accompaniment.
With their gingerbread flavor, these cakes make the perfect Christmas dessert, but they’re so good, you’ll be making them all year round! Once out of the oven, I tasted them and thought although they were really good, they needed a frosting or glaze. My husband said Jamaican Ginger Cake didn’t have frosting or glaze and none of the recipes I came across had it. That’s when I knew I’d go off script and create something different. It was my friend who requested the cake who suggested Sticky toffee sauce. I thought it sounded perfect and ran with it. I cooled the cakes five minutes before dipping them in the delicious glaze. The end result was simply fantastic. The cakes are light, fluffy and really flavorful and the buttery, toffee glaze is to die for! Anyone who tried these sticky toffee ginger cakes absolutely loved them! Even my son, who is really fussy loved them. I thought with the kick of fresh ginger he’d turn his nose up at them, but I couldn’t have been more wrong – they were a huge hit! He’s even asked me to make them again for Christmas!
