    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.

    ETA: if you have no lemons perhaps orange syrup may work?

  • Sadly it was made last weekend as I had heard it needed days to mature - so it's stone cold

    boo :(

    there's a couple of ideas here:

    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

    ETA: Daily Wail has a sort of recipe here, not sure about all the fruit though

  • 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=9291
    Reason for edit? Can spell, can't type!
  • 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.

    did you manage to salvage it? This recipe is failsafe. Tried and tested and incredibly moist :) *dribble*:p

  • Well, it WILL be moist if you dribble on it....
