๛ long time no cake

goodness it's been a while since 

I posted a recipe hasn't it?

it's easy to resort to old favourites when baking

but when you have ingredients to use up

then it's time to invent

cherry & ginger loaf

you will need ....

175g plain flour

1½ teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons ground ginger

75g soft brown sugar

75g butter

4 or 5 balls of stem ginger ~ chopped

1 tablespoon of the syrup from the jar

50g glacé cherries ~ chopped

6 tablespoons milk

line a loaf tin with baking parchment

preheat the oven to 180c/gas 4

put all the dry ingredients into a large bowl

 rub in the butter until it looks like sand

stir in the chopped cherries and ginger

add the milk and ginger syrup

 mix to a stiff dough

gently push into the tin 

bake for 1 hour then leave to cool

delicious!
