Ginger Loaf
Gina does it again with this amazingly moist & fragrant ginger loaf. Make sure you have the ingredients for a second one ready as the first wont last.
Gina from The Passionate Pantry has done it again with this one. A wonderful family cake that will last for days and in fact tastes even better as it ages a little. (There’s a joke there, but I’ll stay away from that one!)
Perfect with or without swathes of butter, this moist cake will become a family fave in no time. We know. Enjoy.
