BEST EVER EASY GINGER CAKE
I searched for 20 years to find the definitive ginger cake recipe - this is it! So easy to make and full of flavour it keeps well and can be frozen - iced or uniced. This cake is ideal for morning or afternoon tea. I also like to take it on picnics. If you prefer a lighter gingerbread, substitute golden syrup for the treacle. If you have a food processor this recipe is even quicker - simply process the dry ingredients until mixed then, with the motor running, pour the wet ingredients through the hopper. Process until well combined and pour into the lined tin.

Steps:
- Lightly grease a 25cm square (10 inch) cake tin and line it with baking (silicone) paper.
- (Try to use the correct size tin or the cake may crack.) Set the oven to moderate 180° C (350° F).
- Sift all of the dry ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
- Combine butter pieces, golden syrup and treacle in a small saucepan, cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted.
- (This step can also be done in the microwave.) Add water to syrup mixture.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the syrup mixture and the eggs.
- Mix until well combined.
- Dont be concerned that the mixture is quite liquid at this stage.
- Pour cake mixture into prepared tin.
- Tap tin lightly on bench to dispel air bubbles.
- Place on centre shelf of 180° C (350° F) oven for 35-40 minutes.
- Check towards the end of the baking time to ensure the edges are not burning.
- The cake should be dark but must not be blackened at the edges.
- (If you do burn the edges, cut them off and ice over the edges and no-one will notice!).
- When the cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Then, carefully invert it onto a rack or bread board to cool.
- Icing the Cake: Sift the icing sugar into a small mixing bowl.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, beat the butter (or margarine) until smooth.
- Gradually add the sifted icing sugar, beating between additions until the sugar is completely mixed with the butter.
- Add the lemon juice and beat well until the mixture reaches an easily spreadable consistency.
- Spread icing over the top of the cake and (optional) decorate with pieces of crystallised ginger.

DAVID LEBOVITZ'S FRESH GINGER CAKE
This deeply moist ginger cake is adapted from David Lebovitz, the former pastry chef at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, Calif., who included the recipe in his cookbook, "Room for Dessert." It's the sort of cake that gets better - its flavors a bit more complex, its crumb a bit more tender - with time. It's also incredibly easy to make, and it doesn't require any special equipment - just a bowl, a saucepan, a whisk and a cake pan. Enjoy it with a cup of hot tea or a bit of bourbon (or both). We bet you won't leave a single crumb behind.

Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven. Heat to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch round cake pan with 3-inch sides, or a 9-inch springform pan, with a circle of fine parchment paper.
- Mix together the molasses, sugar and oil. In another bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Stir in baking soda, then mix hot water into molasses mixture. Stir in ginger.
- Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into batter. Add eggs, and continue mixing until everything is thoroughly combined. Pour the batter into prepared cake pan, and bake for about 1 hour, until top of cake springs back lightly when pressed or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. If the top of cake browns too quickly before cake is done, drape a piece of foil over it and continue baking.
- Cool cake for at least 30 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake to loosen it from pan. Invert cake onto a cooling rack, and peel off parchment paper.

FRESH GINGER CAKE
This is the most often requested recipe in my repertoire, and I've passed it on to many, many people. It appears so often on Bay Area menus (sometimes called Dave's ginger cake, which, I admit, amuses and flatters me) that I sometimes think I'm responsible for too much of a good thing. Then I order it, taste it, and decide not to worry: This simple cake is wonderful.

FRESH GINGER CAKE
This recipe is a makeover of a British recipe. It is served in one of the Historic Trust Houses with a bit of tea. The recipe yields a very light intense ginger taste. It does not taste like traditional gingerbread. I prefer it to the dark heavy taste of the regular. Tercile and Golden Syrup was used in place of the molasses and dark Corn syrup. If you have access to a Golden syrup such as Kings Molasses, it can be used in place of both the molasses and the corn syrup. Finally...

Steps:
- Position rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 350°F
- Generously grease a ring mold pan and dust generously with flour.
- Sift the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
- Whisk the egg just enough to combine the yolk and white [think egg beaters dear].
- Pour the Molasses, Corn syrup ans water into a cup and stir to combine.
- Place butter in bowl of mixer and with paddle attachment cream on medium until it clings and looks satiny.
- Add the sugar and scrape the bowl. Contine to cream at med speed for 2 to 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Keep mixer at med add the egg a tbsp at a time. Stop the mixer and scrape the bowl at least once.
- After a couple minutes the mix should be light and fluffy and increased in volume remove the beater. Scrape batter off beater Stir in lemon zest and the ginger.
- Using a rubber spatula stir a quarter of the flour mix inches.
- Add 1/3 molasses mix. Stir to blend. Repeat. Alternate the dry and liquid and end with the flour. Scrape bowl often. You want a smooth mix before the new addition.
- Pour into mold. Spread slightly higher toward edges. Bake 35 to 37 minutes or until sides begin to pull away and surface springs back when touched. Yes the tootpick should come out clean.
- Place the cake on a rack to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
- With mitts, tilt and rotate the mold and gently tap it on the counter to see if the cake is releasing from the sides of the mold. If not, run a small metal spatula or the blade of a table knife around the outer edge to loosen the cake from the mold.
- Invert the cake onto a rack covered with parchment. Remove mold. Cool completely. Decorate cake in pattern with powered sugar in a sieve.
- transfer to serving platter.
- The original poster recommended cream cheese frosting. I do not. For the traditional manner sprinkle with confectioners sugar in a pleasing pattern or serve plain. The cream cheese frosting makes it too rich. This is not intended to be a rich overpowering cake.
- To Veganize and it works well with this recipe: use egg sub such as EnerG in place of the egg and use a Vegan butter sub in place of the butter. To low fat use egg sub and use Take Control Light Spread in place of the butter. [I am not certain that is Vegan without checking the package but it is low fat.]. The cake is very forgiving.
- DO watch your time.
