Ingredients in ginger cake

• 175 g of butter
• 75 g of honey
• Lemon zest
• 175 g of flour
• 3.75 ml of ginger
• 2 eggs

For the icing:

• A tablespoon of honey
• The juice of one lemon

Preparation

• First of all, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Then, melt the butter in a double boiler.
• When it’s almost melted, add the honey and lemon zest and mix everything well.
• After that, let it cool and then add the remaining ingredients (flour, ginger, and eggs).
• Butter a baking tray and pour the mixture inside it.
• Then, bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, you can make the topping. To do this, first put the honey and lemon juice in a pot over medium heat. When both ingredients have warmed up a bit and melted with each other, the topping is ready.
• When you take the cake out of the oven, just prick it with a fork to make some holes and pour the topping on top so that it drenches the whole cake.
• The cake should absorb all the topping liquid.
• Let it cool, and enjoy it!

Easy, right? Also, you can decorate the cake any way you want. (For example, you can add candied ginger on top).
