I make a mean Ginger Bread but have decided to try a Ginger cream cake today with LOADS of sweetened, vanilla flavored fresh whipped cream.

This recipe is for a single layer cake, but you can easily get 8 servings from the cake.

Or double the recipe, use the whipped cream as a filling and dust the top with Icing Sugar (or more whipped cream) !

So quick and easy to make ! Ginger Cream Cake is moist and topped with simple Vanilla whipped cream #HolidayBaking #GingerCake #MoistGingerCake #EasyCakeRecipes #CakeRecipes

The cake is so perfect for when you have unexpected guests coming over as it is so quick to make, and just as quick to cool.

When we had a fairly rich dinner, this cake is perfect to top it off. The Ginger Cream Cake is also ideal to serve at tea time – which is usually when I serve the cake.

You can decorate the cake with sprinkles or anything light (because of the whipped cream topping) to suit the occasion.

  • 1 t Vanilla Essence
  • 2 TB Caster Sugar Superfine Sugar

Instructions
 

  • CAKE: Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg C (350 deg F) – Spray a 20 cm ( 8 inch ) cake pan with cooking oil and line the bottom with baking paper
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar together – add the Eggs one by one – mixing in between – add the Syrup and mix well
  • Sift the Flour and Ground Ginger together – fold in with the Sugar mixture
  • Combine the Milk and Bicarbonate of Soda – add to the batter – mix in gently
  • Pour batter into the prepared cake pan – bake 30 – 35 minutes until a tester comes out clean
  • Remove cake from the oven – leave in pan for 5 minutes – transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before topping with the whipped cream
  • WHIPPED CREAM: Whip the Fresh Cream until stiff points form
  • Add the Vanilla and Caster Sugar – whip some more – you want a really stiff cream (but be careful not to whip it into a creamed butter stage)

Notes

  • Once the cake has completely cooled – spread or pipe the whipped cream on top of the cake and serve immediately

I have been told I am a no-reply blogger. I don't want to be a no-reply blogger, Help please.I am going to make this cake soon because it looks so delicious. I am wondering if golden syrup is corn syrup in America. I saw your link on Heavenly Sunday.
