* ~ FLUFFY GINGER CAKE WITH ORANGE ZEST RECIPE ~ *
INGREDIENTS:
- 200g (13 tbsp) soft butter or margarine
- 100g (½ cup) caster sugar or soft brown sugar
- 120g (⅓ cup) maple syrup or golden syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 200g (1 ½ cup) self-raising flour
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground mixed spice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Zest of ½ an orange
- Pinch of salt
- Icing sugar, for dusting (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Preheat your oven – 180 C / 160 C fan / 350 F / gas mark 4.
2) Grease and line a 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 in) square cake tin.
3) In a large bowl, beat together your soft butter and sugar for 2 minutes.
4) Add the syrup and vanilla and whisk for a further 2 minutes
5) Beat your eggs in one at a time until the mixture is fluffy.
6) Tip in the flour, spices, zest, and salt and gently whisk in until JUST combined into a smooth cake batter. (Over-mixing can make your cake come out tough or chewy, and no one wants that!)
7) Pour the mixture into your prepared tin and smooth over the top.
8) Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. By this time the cake should be risen, and a skewer inserted into the centre should be clean when removed.
9) Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool completely in the tin before removing and slicing into squares.
10) Dust over some icing sugar (if using), and enjoy!
