Squidgy Lemon-Ginger Cake

My brother and sister-in-law got us a subscription to BBC Good Food for Christmas - great present - please repeat this year! In the April issue there is a fantastic Brilliant Bakes supplement and I found the recipe for this cake in there.  This cake is just divine - the fresh ginger really cuts through the sticky sweetness of the sugar and dates.  I made it as a cake but I think I would also try making it in individual loaves and serving it as a pudding, warm with ice-cream or creme fraiche.  The recipe can be found here on the BBC Good Food website.

    BBC Good food is one of my favourite places to find recipes, they are just so inviting to read and cook! Your lemon, ginger cake just makes me want to make one myself so I can try it!
