Sticky gingerbread…

I researched a vegan ginger cake recipe and made it, gave to admit it was sublimely sticky and tasty.

I wish I had my Mum's recipe.

I am going to look up ginger cake recipes now, it is ages since I tasted any, and yes it is delicious if the baker is a good one.

Redhead Thank you, I’ll check that out!

Sssshhhh, but if anyone is looking for a shortcut, the Wright's Ginger Cake mix (you can get it in most supermarkets, I think) is pretty decent. I usually add a little bit more ground ginger and cinnamon and a little of the syrup from stem ginger, and my inlaws swear it's the best gingerbread they've had (and they're quite picky!)

I make a sticky stem ginger cake with lemon icing, which is hugely popular with the family. It’s on the BBC Good Food website.

A friend of mine made a beautiful ginger cake a couple of weeks ago and gave me a slice....refused anymore as so high in calories. It was delicous and i am thinking of making one for Xmas and decoratig with plain icing and xmas figures that i have. None of my family enjoy traditional fruit cake so this may be the solution.

Squiffy go onto The gluten free blogger website lots of recipe ideas including sticky ginger cake my brothers favourite.

I love Parkin and I love gingerbread but so different. Parkin needs leaving to become sticky and gingerbread needs eating to stop it becoming dry ?

Does anyone have a good gluten free recipe for sticky gingerbread, please?

Apart from fresh crusty ‘normal’ bread, ginger cake is the one thing I crave!

We love a good sticky gingerbread and it never seems to last long - somehow word gets around that some has been made and family and friends just happen to be passing!
I use Mary Berry's recipe and add a bit of chopped stem ginger from a jar.

Gingerbread people are also practically a staple food here - but that's a whole different story.

Today I made gingerbread for the first time this autumn.

Fantastic. Our GC had fun decorating, a little competition.

I love sticky gingerbread I have made Nigellas as well as Mary’s both are lovely. I made it for a Christmas dinner one year at our sons house. I dusted it with icing sugar little reindeer and trees it looked lovely and went down a treat. I make this anytime of year for a weekend treat as I don’t eat desserts in the week.

Much as it sticks(!) in my craw... cant stand her... Nigellas sticky gingerbread is sublime... keep it well wrapped for a few days to get sticky!!

DM used to make a lovely ginger cake; she called it ginger parkin although she didn't put any oatmeal in it.
It was sticky, delicious and very light.

I think mine was a sticky Delia's Parkin I had to get Pin? wheel or meal oats to put in it. One year the neighbour's young son sneaked in and ate quite a lot of it. He was punished by the effect on his tummy and had to miss a day of school.

I used to make gingerbread when my children were still at home. Not so much these days, but when I do, I share it with DD and grandchildren.

I used to when the family were at home and the neighbours had a Bonfire party. Not anymore too morish for the two of us.
