BEST EVER EASY GINGER CAKE RECIPE - FOOD.COM
I searched for 20 years to find the definitive ginger cake recipe - this is it! So easy to make and full of flavour it keeps well and can be frozen - iced or uniced. This cake is ideal for morning or afternoon tea. I also like to take it on picnics. If you prefer a lighter gingerbread, substitute golden syrup for the treacle. If you have a food processor this recipe is even quicker - simply process the dry ingredients until mixed then, with the motor running, pour the wet ingredients through the hopper. Process until well combined and pour into the lined tin.

Steps:
- Lightly grease a 25cm square (10 inch) cake tin and line it with baking (silicone) paper.
- (Try to use the correct size tin or the cake may crack.) Set the oven to moderate 180° C (350° F).
- Sift all of the dry ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
- Combine butter pieces, golden syrup and treacle in a small saucepan, cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted.
- (This step can also be done in the microwave.) Add water to syrup mixture.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the syrup mixture and the eggs.
- Mix until well combined.
- Don’t be concerned that the mixture is quite liquid at this stage.
- Pour cake mixture into prepared tin.
- Tap tin lightly on bench to dispel air bubbles.
- Place on centre shelf of 180° C (350° F) oven for 35-40 minutes.
- Check towards the end of the baking time to ensure the edges are not burning.
- The cake should be dark but must not be blackened at the edges.
- (If you do burn the edges, cut them off and ice over the edges and no-one will notice!).
- When the cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Then, carefully invert it onto a rack or bread board to cool.
- Icing the Cake: Sift the icing sugar into a small mixing bowl.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, beat the butter (or margarine) until smooth.
- Gradually add the sifted icing sugar, beating between additions until the sugar is completely mixed with the butter.
- Add the lemon juice and beat well until the mixture reaches an easily spreadable consistency.
- Spread icing over the top of the cake and (optional) decorate with pieces of crystallised ginger.

BEST EVER BANANA CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIP…
This is one of (if not) the BEST banana cake I have ever tasted! I thought the oven temp of 275° sounded a little low, but this cake baked up (and rose) beautifully in my oven at this temp after pretty much exactly one hour. I do not know if the little "freezer trick" to this recipe is what ensured its moistness or not, but I did it, and it was exceptionally moist & delicious. Would be interesting to see if it still came out as great if this step was skipped. All I know is that I followed this recipe EXACTLY as stated (except that I had no buttermilk, so I subbed with a mix of lemon juice & milk) and I got exceptional results. So moist and yummy...a dense cake, similar in texture to a carrot cake... I personally would not call this frosted banana bread :o) Depending on the amount of frosting you like you can decide whether to half the recipe or not. I used the full recipe and had some leftover. I sprinkled on the chopped walnuts and threw this baby in the fridge and cut it the next day...TO DIE FOR! I really liked it slightly chilled, but great at room temp too! It got better each day it sat, I always make this cake at least the day before I need or want it. I was extremely pleased with this cake and will be making it over & over again!! So glad I came across this one!! (on another website). (* * Just to update the recipe, (based on some of the reviews), the baking time may vary based on individual ovens. It was RIGHT ON for my oven, but some others have stated it has taken 1 hour 10 minutes, 1 hour 20 minutes, and my sister just informed me that it took 1 hour 30 minutes in her oven!!!!!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275°F (135C).
- Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan.
- In a small bowl, mix mashed banana with the lemon juice; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 1/8 cups sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 tsp vanilla.
- Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk.
- Stir in banana mixture.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for one hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and place directly into the freezer for 45 minutes. This will make the cake very moist.
- For the frosting, cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Add icing sugar and beat on low speed until combined, then on high speed until frosting is smooth.
- Spread on cooled cake.
- Sprinkle chopped walnuts over top of the frosting, if desired.
