Ginger Sponge Cake is one of my favorite cakes to make. I love the flavor of ginger and I think it works so well in this sponge cake recipe. As you know, I’m not really into sweet things and baking. I much prefer savory meat dishes. But I firmly believe that everyone needs to have a couple of cake recipes in their repertoire and this is one of the ones in mine!
Another reason I love this cake is that it is so simple to make. Simply combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Rub in margarine with your fingertips. Add egg, golden syrup and hot water until you have a cake batter. Bake in the oven and enjoy!
