Sticky ginger cake recipe, please

ps nearly the same as hildajenniJ's as well.

Auntie Flo - I was going to post something like your recipe.
Husband makes a fruit cake which is sticky like treacle toffee.
He uses black treacle and dark soft brown sugar. But he uses margarine instead of lard.

Hello miep, here is another recipe for you
Fruity Gingerbread

Grease and line an 8" square tin

Sift spices, bicarb and flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre
Place lard in a saucepan, together with the treacle, syrup and sugar, and heat until the lard has just melted and the ingredients have blended.
Remove from heat and leave to cool slightly.
Stir the remaining ingredients into the bowl of flour, together with the lard mixture, and beat with a wooden spoon, until smooth and glossy.
Pour into the tin and bake in oven for approx 1.25 - 1.5 hours.
Leave gingerbread to cool in the tin for about 30 mins, before turning it out and removing the paper. Leave on a cooloing rack until it is completely cool. Store in an airtight tin until required.

That sounds so yummy! Thanks for posting it. I am going to make it next week.

Hello miep. I make an old Be-ro recipe. If you put it in a tin and leave it for a day or so it develops a lovely sticky top.
Here it is.
