| 1 | I have searched, but can't find it, and I'm sure I got it from here. bisloy - 2016-04-08 11:00:00 |
| 2 | bisloy, maybe this is the recipe you're wanting?? It's from the former Trade Me Cooks..... "Large Ginger Cake Hope that's the one. :-)) Edited by 245sam at 11:42 am, Fri 8 Apr 245sam - 2016-04-08 11:42:00 |
| 3 | Thank you 245sam, but it's not the one. bisloy - 2016-04-08 12:07:00 |
| 4 | bisloy, perhaps you thanked the poster for the recipe when she put it up. Maybe if you do a search using your name in the search box you might just find it again. Maybe you will remember the thread it was in. It will be gone if it was posted over 1 yer ago but you might just be able to find it in Stack of Recipes. buzzy110 - 2016-04-08 16:46:00 |
| 5 | Awesome idea buzzy110, unfortunately it didn't work, bu will rememeber for future searches. Thanks heaps. bisloy - 2016-04-08 18:13:00 |
| 6 | Hi bisloy, not sure if this is the recipe you mean, I posted it a couple of years ago for someone who was looking for an old gingerbread recipe similar to this one. Moist Treacle Gingerbread Lemon frosting Grease and line 14cm x 21cm loaf pan. Sift flours, soda and spices into a bowl. Stir in sugar and combined egg and milk. Melt butter and treacle together. Stir into flour mixture and mix well. Pour into prep'd loaf pan Bake @ 180C for 50 minutes. When cooled spread with Lemon frosting. Edited by nauru at 9:36 pm, Fri 8 Apr nauru - 2016-04-08 21:33:00 |
| 7 | Thanks nauru, but that's not it either. I will have to trawl through my books again here at home. The closest I can find on line is Al Brown's 'Best Gingerbread in the World'. I may have to adapt that one, as it looks pretty close. bisloy - 2016-04-09 14:11:00 |
| 8 | I love a good slice of gingerbread, but find nearly all recipes have 1-2 cups golden syrup. korbo - 2016-04-09 14:36:00 |

| 10 | korbo, at the risk of being shot down in flames, I use about half the amount of sugar or golden syrup in baking recipes than that stated. Sometimes you can tell. But mostly it goes unnoticed although something I made recently was commented on and DH very rarely comments on my cooking, so it must have been very different to normal. cgvl - 2016-04-09 15:42:00 |

Korbo, you could try using coconut sugar which is low GI. I use this all the time now and I cut the amount of sugar by half in recipes. I have made the above recipe with half the amount of syrup and sugar stated and used coconut sugar instead of caster sugar. The loaf turned out well and we find it more suited to our taste, Edited by nauru at 4:53 pm, Sat 9 Apr nauru - 2016-04-09 16:52:00 |
| 12 | Nauru, I have re-read your recipe and I remember your comment at the start ... perhaps yours is it. Thank you so much. bisloy - 2016-04-10 09:06:00 |
| 13 | I make Nauru's gingerbread but use raw sugar, double the spices and add chopped crystallised ginger to it, yummy! meetee - 2016-04-10 15:21:00 |
| 14 | You're welcome bisloy, how did your cake turn out? nauru - 2016-04-10 19:42:00 |

I have been hankering for a good gingerbread. I will have to give this a go. marcs - 2017-04-11 14:59:00 |
| 17 | I made Nauru recipe. It was very nice however I just did not taste ginger even though I doubled the spices. I might add a TBS next time or may be add some fresh ginger juice as I find dried ginger powder does not have much flavour. marcs - 2017-04-12 20:33:00 |

| 19 | I found three or four black peppercorns, freshly ground with a mortar and pestle and added to ginger loaf really helped with that zing. oopie - 2017-04-15 19:36:00 |
| 20 | I still make this cake (post #6) but now also add 1 tablsp of grated fresh ginger with the powdered spices and some chopped crystalised ginger. It make a great difference. nauru - 2017-04-15 19:44:00 |

| 24 | Nauru, I couldn't find my crystallized ginger so I swapped some of the milk for ginger wine which no one wants to drink in the house and I added some freshly grated ginger too and the dried ginger. Should be gingery enough now. marcs - 2017-04-21 14:55:00 |
