[@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!

[@vjohnson2400]

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

[@chrismiller4544]

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

[@ceciliascoolcreations743]

Sally is so happy all the time also great at what she does

[@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 ☺

[@davidcampbell651]

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

[@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.

[@stevekirkbride7895]

Oh Sally! Anything flavoured with either Ginger or Lemon is amazing in my opinion 😋 thank you beautiful, stay safe all please xx

[@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!

[@AsianGargamel]

Just pulled this out the oven, it smells delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

[@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!!

[@mindfulbaking]

Thank you so much for ordering the apron! Hope you love it xxx

[@jacquelineflowers100]

Oh I love ginger bread. I make it a lot. I can smell it now. Sally your bubbly personality is so refreshing. If you were a wine you would be champagne lol

[@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!

[@CrankyPantss]

Sally Dells It can’t come too soon. I’m tired of cleaning the nose prints off my screen. 😂

Living in Australia for 20 years and they don't have the jamaican ginger cake I used to eat back in Ireland when I was younger. Just made this and its exactly how I remember it. Thanks heaps!

[@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😄

[@Ionabrodie69]

I made a ginger cake yesterday..( not this one but a family recipe ) the method is almost identical but I add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne as well as 2 teaspoons of ginger. and allspice as well as the cinnamon.. I used a traybake tin … lovely with custard when it’s a few days old. Or with butter on …I don’t put a glaze on. 😊🇬🇧

[@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. ❤️

[@charliechipchip1786]

Another amazing video! Thank you Sally! You put a smile on my face every time you bake ❤️❤️😘

[@moonfiremagic777]

I am astounded that every recipe I try from you works out so well! Thank you, the Jamaica Ginger Loaf is superb, rich, moist and so delicious.

[@naytay22]

Just ordered an NYC birthday cookie kit for my daughters birthday. So excited! We’ve been to crumbs and doilies and we loved your cakes! ❤️

[@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

[@allisonleighmorgan3224]

Thanks for posting the video was so helpful ☺ I made this tonight but did it with gluten free flour and soya milk 🥛 didn't use the treacle in it and had brown sugar instead followed the steps and turned out great and my kitchen smells amazing 😋 xx

[@sofiaarif1556]

Made this yesterday...Absolutely delicious! 😍

[@susannekennedy1943]

My mum used to get the shop bought kind, slice it in half and fill with cream and bananas wirh lemon juice over them. Top with same.. delicious desert.

[@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

[@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!!!

[@londonguyinstockholm]

Try it with a slice of cheddar cheese! I like the sweet 'n' saltiness of this incredibly rich combination! Thank you bringing so much joy to us in these tricky times!

[@mindfulbaking]

Stuart Mayes whaaaat??? This sounds so mad I have to try it! X

[@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

Well I'm AWFUL at baking and after following your recipe to the gram, my cake came out perfect and tastes incredible!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@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 :)

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.

This was a massive hit. Thank you Sally ❤️

[@Jan-yt2re]

Made this a few days ago and it was delicious! Had no treacle so just used golden syrup and reduced the dark sugar just a little as well. Skipped the drizzle but it was perfect with a nice cuppa tea. It was all finished within a few hours!

[@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?

[@beckyshepherd5733]

Was so pleased as I’m dairy free and tried this with soya milk and it still came out amazing 😀

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, 😋

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

I found another ginger cake recipe online recently and made it today. Unfortunately, I didn't find it that easy to make. There was too much of it and it filled my loaf tin right up to the brim (in hindsight I shouldn't have poured all of it in). When it was done, I left it on the side, but took it out of the tin too early (it was still quite warm) and the bottom got stuck in the tin because I didn't bother to line it, just generously butter it. It tastes quite nice, but, it's a bit crumbly. It might be better by tomorrow. After seeing your recipe, I thought I would try yours as it seems easier and there is less of it and the mixture appears less sloppy.

As Sally puts in the ingredients one by one, I’m like I must make this! But then she starts putting ingredients that I can’t find here. My oh my Sally I want it badly 😭

[@nonabgo]

Yep... I can't find treacle or golden syrup in my country :(

[@karenfolan56]

Try molasses for treacle

[@notconvinced2204]

Actually, molasses is made of the same stuff but it seems to be very different from golden treacle used here.

[@karenfolan56]

Black Treacle and golden syrup (or light treacle)are 2 different sugar products. Treacle is molasses. Golden syrup is a bit tricker, honey or corn syrup can be used but they impart their own unique flavour. Another option is to find a British / Irish food shop in your city or town and get it there or order from your nearest online.

[@ednasole854]

What can I use instead of Golden syrup
