Naked Stem Ginger Loaf Cake

Based on an old family recipe this cake is something of a gem and a real favourite with our customers.

Our recipe for Sticky Stem Ginger Cake is unctuous, sticky and totally decadent, made with lots of delicious ginger, brown sugar, black treacle, golden syrup and an array of secret spices.

Cumbria has a long association with ginger, but that relationship didn’t truly develop until the spice trade operating through both Whitehaven and Maryport in the 17th and 18th centuries took off, with the ports trading with the Caribbean and the Americas, where ginger was in plentiful supply and being grown cheaply.

Inevitably as a result the use of ginger in a wide range of foods became widespread, with it often being imported in a preserved form for use in cooking meats, baking biscuits, cakes, and other sweet treats and Ginger Bakers are proud to continue the rich Cumbrian tradition.

Our 450g Loaf cakes come uncut and can be portioned into 6 generous slices. Best Before 2 weeks.
