I got this from the Metro or the Evening Standard free paper - can't remember which! I ignored the bit about covering with stem ginger and drizzled quite runny lemon icing over the top instead. (Made with icing sugar, zest of lemon and enough lemon juice added to make it runny enough!). I did use ginger syrup though as per the recipe.

 

Ingredients

 

150ml light beer (pale ale/lager)

175g molasses sugar

1tsp bicarbonate of soda

200g self raising flour

2tsp ground ginger

3 large eggs

100g golden caster sugar

125ml groundnut or sunflower oil

2-3 k"Ooops, word censored!"s of stem ginger, finely sliced

3tbsp ginger syrup

 

1) Slowly bring the beer and molasses sugar to the boil in a small saucepan, working out lumps with the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, stir in bicarb and cool for about 30 minutes.

2) Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan and butter a non stick square brownie tin (23cm by 4cm deep). Sift the flour and ground ginger into a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, caster sugar and oil in a medium-sized bowl then slowly add to the flour, stirring. Add the beer mixture in two goes, gently mixing. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30-35 minutes until just firm to the touch. Avoid opening the oven door until baked.

3) Run a knife around the edge of the cake and drizzle over the syrup evenly, using the back of a spoon. Decorate with stem ginger, cover with cling film and cool.

I love ginger and this sounds absolutely delish - all moist and dark and scrummy and easy. Thanks for posting
