How to Make Super Moist Ginger Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter and 1/4 cup (60ml) golden syrup over low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon mixed spice, and 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar.
  4. Add 2 large eggs and 1 cup (240ml) milk to the dry ingredients.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the cooled melted butter and syrup mixture to the batter, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
