Tangy lemon cake with a hint of ginger, perfect for high tea.
Ingredients:
  • 325g plain flour
  • 10.00 gm ground ginger
  • 10.00 gm baking powder
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 160g unsalted butter, melted, cooled
  • 4 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 260g (1 cup) Greek yoghurt
  • 100ml honey icing
  • 25g stem ginger in syrup, plus 1 tbsp syrup
  • 175-200g pure icing sugar
  • 20.20 gm pouring cream
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Lightly grease and flour a 22cm kugelhopf or bundt cake pan for easy release.
  • In a bowl, sift together flour, ginger, and baking powder. Stir in sugar and create a well in the center. In a separate bowl, beat together butter, egg, yogurt, and honey until smooth using a wooden spoon. Pour the mixture into the well and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Transfer the prepared mixture into the pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice stem ginger and set aside. Whisk 175g icing sugar, ginger syrup, and cream in a bowl until smooth. Add extra 25g icing sugar if needed, until icing reaches desired thick and pourable consistency.
  • Drizzle the sweet icing over the cake and sprinkle with fresh ginger for a burst of flavor.
