My favourite recipe, childhood memories. I like mine a little spicy, so use actad more ginger!

Sammi

So simple and easy to do and residents love it

Sandy

Delicious recipe, I added 1/2 tsp of beef oxo and it really elevated the icing. I highly recommend pan frying the flour before making the dough, gives it a good smoky flavour.

Lovely easy recipe, but I doubled the icing as I found it to thin .

As soon as the cake went into my mouth....heaven. The ginger flavour brought back memories of mums Saturday baking on the farm back in the 60's. I have her original Edmonds cook book, a Cadbury kitchen quick weigh and a Chelsea 6lb sugar bag that for some reason got left at the back of her pantry!

Annie

I agree with other reviews, absolutely the best ginger crunch but definitely recommend you add more icing sugar to the icing otherwise it is too runny, (1 cup minimum) I also cooked the base for less at 180c for 20 mins so it wasn't so hard and crunchy. Everyone has raved about it.

Method

Preheat oven to 190°C conventional. Grease an 18cm x 28cm slice tin and line with baking paper.

Cream Tararua Butter and Chelsea White Sugar until light and fluffy. Sift Edmonds Standard Grade Flour, Edmonds Baking Powder and ginger into creamed mixture and mix well (dough will be quite crumbly).

Press dough into prepared tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until light brown.

Pour ginger icing over base while hot. Allow to cool a little, then slice into squares while still warm.

Ginger Icing
In a small saucepan on medium-low, combine Tararua Butter, Chelsea Icing Sugar, Chelsea Golden Syrup and ginger. Heat until butter is melted and mixture is smooth, stirring constantly.
