Jamaican Ginger Loaf Cake Recipe & Tutorial | Cupcake Jemma

[@angelamortlock1317]

Made my first ever ginger cake following your recipe and won first prize at a local country show!

[@rcdoodles6214]

Sally, you radiate happiness and are a very special person, an angel on earth. Thank you for sharing your joy for life and baking with all of us. 🦋🌸💕

[@mindfulbaking]

RC Doodles this is so sweet and kind, thank you xxx

[@asherjose3968]

I know it is quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@geraldbraxton1092]

@Asher Jose I would suggest flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@neilkonnor4923]

@Gerald Braxton yup, been using Flixzone for since april myself :)

[@asherjose3968]

@Gerald Braxton thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !

[@clurmp]

Thank you for this recipe! We used to have the McVities version all the time when I was younger. I made this cake this evening and my mam (who's not a big cake eater) had a taste and then ate two slices in one go!

[@markwilkinson58]

I’ve made this three times now! The latest one I added the zest of an orange to the syrup at the start of the boil. Took the cake “to another level” as they say. Next time will probably try a little zest in the cake mix as well.

[@KH-yl9eu]

Do you stir the syrup? Or leave it alone? she didn’t say and I haven’t made a sugar syrup before

[@kk.035-2]

@@KH-yl9eu it doesnt matter for a syrup i believe, only when ur making caramel

[@irenerouse3163]

Nice one...

[@mariaharkin4818]

Made this yesterday. Went down a absolute treat. I iced the top as we love a iced ginger cake in this house. Thank you for the great recipe x

[@Karras353]

I made this last night and saved it for today before serving. So rich, moist and (most importantly) gingery. Definitely a winner.

[@seamusdebuitleir20]

Thank you Sally, your time and energy and your skills, you’re a lady Buddha with your radiance.🙏🏻

[@mindfulbaking]

Thank you!

[@barryconnerty2055]

Hi there I baked the jamacian ginger cake/loaf yesterday and it was a triumph. For some inexplicable reason I added ½ teaspoon of baking powder instead of the recommended ¾ teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and expected an issue with bake. To my relief and surprise the cake/loaf was well risen, moist, dark and really unctuous and the addition of the ginger syrup over the top raised the finished bake up a notch. Thanks for an easy and informative video and your enthusiasm shines through.

[@flrnsy]

Hello! Can you pls teach us the difference of sugars (caster, powdered, refined, regular, etc.) and when to use them? Thank youu

[@RossMcCartan]

Caster sugar is finer than regular Powdered sugar is well in powder form but it also has extra constancy to prevent clumping Refined sugar is the same as regular I normally use regular sugar in recipes that call for it but also in recipes that call for caster as they are so similar And powdered sugar is used in icing and American butter cream Hope this helps!

[@26chencla]

Here are more specific descriptions: Coarseness (for coarsest to finest) -Demerara sugar/muscovado sugar -brown sugar, light or dark -granulated sugar, or regular refined sugar -caster sugar (British) /superfine sugar (American) -icing sugar/confectioners sugar/powdered sugar Flavour profile: Demerara, muscovado, and brown sugar = molasse-y, caramel-y flavour and makes things chewy Granulated/caster/icing sugar = flavourless and helps things spread Use of sugars: demerara, muscovado, brown = generally used in spiced baked goods or streusel toppings granulated/caster = used in regular baked goods and as a common sweetener icing = used in macarons or icings Ingredients: light brown sugar = white sugar + a little molasses dark brown sugar = white sugar + a lot of molasses icing sugar = white sugar ground finer + cornstarch Hope this helps :)

[@davidcampbell651]

Made this yesterday. Best jamaican ginger cake recipe i have made. The syrup is fantastic as well. Easy recipe to follow. Five stars

[@rachelleitch9029]

Has anyone noticed when Sally cracks eggs she does it like a Disney princess? This cake looks phenomenal! Can't wait to try it! Am 36 weeks pregnant and baking all the things, I'm calling it nesting haha! All these videos are class!

[@lilisz1433]

Right! I was half expecting some singing birds to fly away with the eggshells😄

[@cherylm8507]

I made this on the weekend and it turned out so well! I'm in Canada so I used molasses, and I couldn't find golden syrup anywhere but found a recipe online and made my own. I also baked my loaf at 325F for 60 minutes and it was done (any longer and it would have been overdone). Hope these tips help others out there!

[@clairebaker900]

Yes same here.

[@faith2876]

Thanks for writing this, I tried this cake for the first time today, checked on it after 60min and it was perfectly done!

[@eleanorrodway263]

I randomly tried salted caramel butter icing on a ginger cake I made, and the combination is SO DELICIOUS!!! x

[@jackiegrant410]

I’ve just made this, OMG, it’s fabulous, that ginger syrup is to die for, the whole cake goes nicely with some cream poured ontop. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I kept some syrup and later added some to sparkling water. Yummy. ❤️

[@4evaFanFuruba]

Thank you for the recipe, I made the loaf and it came out beautiful!!!! I halfed the sugar too and you can taste even more heat from the ginger flavour. I heated it in the microwave and have it over coffee...just delightful ☺

[@vjohnson2400]

Another brilliant tutorial Sally and a recipe I’ll be making soon, my friend loves ginger cake.

[@karenguille3424]

I’ve just made this….it smells delicious…the recipe is fabulous the cake looks and tastes amazing Thankyou

[@marionfletcher7973]

I made this and it was lovely. I did do the sticky syrup but to be honest I would prefer icing sugar. It was great buttered and as a pudding with custard

[@SeareanMoon]

I ordered the apron kit finally, been wanting it for ages. Decided since we are baking more now that we are home so much... This cake sounds to yummy!!

[@marionfletcher7973]

Made this cake and it was the best ginger cake ever. I put some of the syrup over but was cautious in case it was too soapy but I should have put more. We had it with butter and custard. Lovely. I am making it again this weekend. Will try and take a photo but technology may defeat me. Make this cake you will love it

[@chrismiller4544]

I can't wait to try this recipe this afternoon.

As soon as I saw you had post this recipe my eyes grew wider and I instantly knew this is my next bake. Major yum! Thanks Sally xx

[@TheStationBakery]

I love yalls channels and videos so much! 🥰

[@shrera100]

I'd made this cake for my Dad, few days back, to celebrate his 57th Birthday. I was kinda confused if we would like the taste of it or not ( since it's kinda different than general cake flavors). Now I have to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH to CupcakeJemma & the team members for this amazing cake recipe!! This 'Jamaican Ginger Loaf Cake' is worth to try. Love & best wishes from Bangladesh!!!

[@CrankyPantss]

I got really, really close to my iPad while I was watching this and I think I could actually smell the ginger. It was glorious. Then my roommate walked in and I did had to try to explain why I was trying to snort my iPad. I don’t think she understood how much I really wanted to smell that cake because she went over to the other side of the room, grabbed her iPad from its stand, and slowly backed out of the room. Oh well, I enjoyed imagining the smell for a minute or two and she’ll get over it. 😂 Great job on the cake, Sally. Thanks for sharing that with us.

[@mindfulbaking]

Ahahahahahah ohhhhh one day we will have smellivision!

Looks good. Not the version I learned, always nice to try a new way. ❤️ from 🇧🇧

It's such a joy to watch you you have such a wonderful and sweet personality.

[@williamusrex6417]

I made this for the first time today and it turned out wonderfully! This is an absolutely perfect recipe, doesn’t need any tweeks, it’s very easy to make and the cake is so yummy with a lovely sticky, chewy top. Actually tastes very, very like the McVities version. I’m delighted with this simple recipe and classic caje which is now part of my repertoire! I didn’t make the syrup, but I don’t think it needs it, but I will try it next time, if I can find fresh ginger.

[@londonguyinstockholm]

Sally Dells Hi Sally, thanks so much for taking time to reply! Give it a go and let me know! Try a medium cheddar - nothing too strong! A crumbly white cheese can be great with fruitcake ... always a winter favourite with me

[@avikash7620]

Quick question, since you only used golden syrup did you use just 115g of syrup or did you double it to 230g to make up for the treacle?

Hi Sally, would I have to reduce the cooking time if I halved the mix into two smaller loaf tins or even into cupcakes? Love watching all the videos. You are all fab!

[@clairebaker900]

Yes definitely. Cupcakes for a banana bread recipe are about 20-25 mins but definitely keep checking with a skewer. I'd check at 30/45mins for half the recipe

[@thecakelady10]

Thank you Sally for sharing this amazing recipe! Would you have a Vegan version?

[@juliarisi8385]

Looks absolutely delicious.😋😋😋 Love ginger cake ,trying this tomorrow. Wonder if it will taste as good with molasses? I have no treacle or golden syrup.🙁

[@fionaclaphamhoward5876]

It might not taste quite as sweet but that isn't necessary a problem. The molasses will change the flavour a bit overall as it's a stronger taste than either treacle or golden syrup but the recipe will still work. If you have any corn syrup, I'd play it safe and sub molasses for the treacle and corn syrup for the golden syrup. But all molasses will still work!

[@joycemcqueen6402]

Omg made this yesterday it was delicious I did the syrup too and so worth doing that also

[@amanita1295]

Hi Sally. Wonderful recipe! Will def try it. :) However, I had a question. Why does cakes crack on top? It happens most of the time to me. I noticed yours did it too. While I can just level it off, but I would really like to avoid it. Please let me know :)

It's just due to the rising and deflating of the cakes

Over the weekend I made a batch of gingerbread cookies (leaning on the soft side) and I'm going to fill them with chocolate ganache. Reminds me of Christmas. In that recipe, which made 45 decent size cookies (think chocolate chip cookie size vs say an Oreo) it only called for 1 tbsp of ginger which was plenty. Can you imagine how ginger forward this loaf is going to be?? Mmmm, 😋
