Method

Cream butter and Chelsea White Sugar. Add eggs, Chelsea Golden Syrup and milk. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into a large 25cm well greased or baking paper lined, ring tin. Bake for 30 - 45 mins at 180°C. Cool on a wire rack. When cold, ice with ginger butter icing.

Ginger Butter Icing : Mix Chelsea Icing Sugar, ground ginger and butter together, adding enough boiling water to make a spreadable butter icing.
