Ingredients

  • 200 g unsalted butter
  • 200 g caster sugar
  • 3 lemons
  • 4 eggs medium, see notes
  • 90 g sorghum flour
  • 75 g sweet rice flour glutinous rice flour
  • 35 g almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 70 g stem ginger finely chopped, about 4 balls
  • 100 g crystallised ginger sliced to decorate (optional)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
  • Line and grease an 8 inch square baking tin.
  • Cream the butter and sugar with the zest of the lemons for a few minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until thoroughly incorporated and stir in 2 tablespoons of the juice from the lemons.
  • Sift together the flours, ground ginger, baking powder and salt then mix into the rest of the ingredients until just combined.
  • Stir in the stem ginger.
  • Pour the batter into the baking tin, smoothing the top and bake in the oven for around 30-35 minutes until the sponge has browned on top and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven, rest for five minutes then carefully turn out onto a wire rack. Either leave the cake to cool completely to reheat later or serve whilst still warm with the custard. Arrange the crystallised ginger over the top of the pudding if using.
