I don't foray into the kitchen alone for just any old recipe, but as a general rule something gingery will sway me. It's a little known fact that ginger is a sure-fire ginger girl bait so I can't resist the stuff, & this recipe is easily one of the best ginger-based ginger baits I've had. It's an old-fashioned gingerbread, not a crunchy gingerbread-person biccie, with a texture halfway between a soft fudgey brownie & a carrot cake. The flavour is quite dark, due to the amount of treacle & muscovado sugar, but the lemon icing lightens the whole experience up. This is actually the first thing I've cooked where anyone has said they would pay for it!
