Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Preserved ginger
• 2 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and ground ginger.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir in the preserved ginger.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top with a skewer. Drizzle the lemon juice over the cake.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cake is cooled, make the drizzle by mixing the powdered sugar with enough water to make a thick but pourable glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
9. Serve and enjoy!
