Does anyone have a recipe for something that will resemble the aforementioned Jamaican ginger cake? I love it! I'm another one that likes it with butter though.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
(he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

I have used this as a base before, left out the stem ginger and didnt ice it.
I like it left for a couple of days as I think it improves the flavour.
But I prefer Yorkshire parkin to ginger cake.

I eat things out of date...last night I had two Mr Kipling Viennese Whirls and both were dated June 2012."A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!" ~Thomas Jefferson

Given the last one I ate was about 18 months past its best before date and noone died.. ok so OH and I ate the whole thing between us.. we warmed it in the MW with a small amount of hot water which did seem to restore some of the moisture, he had his with custard (barf!!) and I had mine with ice cream.. nom.. it was a tad dry but quite edible. I think we have another rather squished one upstairs at the moment.
I have also served it to the beastlings.. crumbled or chopped into 1cm cubes and added to fruit and ice cream.. they liked it and it spread the small amount of dessert I had much further.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
I can't believe it! Am I hallucinating? Do people actually keep cake (or anything sweet) long enough for it to go out of date? I think that I have strong willpower when I buy sugary foods and don't eat it somewhere between the shop and home.0
