Sticky Ginger Loaf Cake

A Sticky Ginger Loaf Cake is a moist, warmly spiced cake that combines the sweetness of molasses or dark syrup with the rich, spicy warmth of ginger. This loaf cake typically includes ground ginger, and sometimes fresh or crystallized ginger, adding layers of flavor and a hint of heat. Ingredients like brown sugar, butter, and golden syrup are often used, giving it a deep caramelized sweetness and a dense, sticky texture. The loaf is baked until golden, then brushed with syrup to enhance its sticky exterior and further infuse it with flavor. This cake is perfect served on its own or with a dollop of cream, especially around colder months when its rich spiciness is extra comforting.
