is it still warm ? Could you douse it in lemon syrup perhaps ? My fondest memory of school dinner desserts was of ginger sponge soaked in lemon syrup.

Sadly it was made last weekend as I had heard it needed days to mature - so it's stone cold:eek::eek::eek: LBM 11/05/2010 - WE DID IT - DMP of £62000 paid off in 7 years:jDFD April20170

your idea of a trifle is expanded in point 1 - sounds really lovely!
I don't suppose you have any lemon marmalade or lemon curd ? you could layer it up with lashings of this, top with a custard then cream, then slivers of stem ginger

Cheescake base? This recipe looks the simplest I can see - crumble and crush the parkin and use instead of the digestives.http://www.philadelphia.co.uk/Recipes/Everso-Easy-Cheesecake?r=9291Reason for edit? Can spell, can't type!0

Puncture the top of the parkin all over, warm gently in the oven, then pour over some ginger or lemon syrup? If it's slightly warm that might help it absorb the liquid.Roadkill Rebels December - £2.49

did you manage to salvage it? This recipe is failsafe. Tried and tested and incredibly moist
*dribble*:p
A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:
