>OP, can you give me your ginger cake recipe? I've never heard of this, but I love ginger.
It's just gingerbread, but it's a dark, slightly dense and super moist version of it. Nothing to do with gingerbread men/cookies.

It uses the muffin method, so whisk the wet ingredients in a bowl and sift the dry ingredients before combining the two

>Wet
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 oz melted butter
- 4 oz oil
- 1 cup molasses
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 T. fresh grated ginger
- 1 tsp. vanilla

>Dry
- 2 cups AP flour
- 4 tsp. cinnamon
- 3 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 tsp, baking soda
- 1 tsp salt

- 1/3 cup chopped candied ginger (sprinkled on top, optional)

This makes one 9'' cake. But you can bake it in a loaf or muffins. 325° Fahrenheit until just set. Where I come from people top this with "hard lemon icing" which is lemon juice and powdered sugar mixed into a paste and poured on top. I don't really recommend it though. It doesn't need a frosting, but cream cheese frosting would probably taste good with it.
